Megaphone :verified:Donald Trump Allegedly Recruited by the KGB in 1987 Under Codename ‘Krasnov’ – Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief<br>
<br>
A former senior Soviet intelligence officer has made a bombshell claim: Donald Trump was recruited as a KGB asset in 1987 under the codename “Krasnov.” According to Alnur Mussayev, who once led Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee (the successor to the KGB), Trump was targeted by Soviet intelligence due to his status as a prominent businessman.<br>
<br>
Mussayev, who posted the claim on Facebook, alleges that his own KGB division was responsible for recruiting Trump during his visit to Moscow that year. His claims align with previous allegations from other former Soviet intelligence officers, including Oleg Kalugin and Yuri Shvets, who assert that Trump was cultivated by the KGB for years. Reports have long suggested that Soviet intelligence used flattery, business deals, and potential kompromat to bring him into their orbit.<br>
<br>
The allegations deepen an already complex history of Trump’s ties to Russia, raising further questions about the nature of his political rise and foreign entanglements. <br>
