Ex-KGB Officer Claims Trump Recruited as 'Krasnov' in 1987

Alnur Mussayev, a former KGB officer, has made sensational claims that Donald Trump was recruited by the Soviet Union's KGB in 1987 and assigned the codename 'Krasnov.' Mussayev, who served in the KGB's 6th Directorate, which focused on recruiting businessmen from capitalist nations, alleges that Trump was seen as a valuable asset during a time when the Soviet Union sought to influence Western business leaders. He further claimed that Trump's KGB file has since been removed from the Russian FSB and is now privately managed by an associate of President Putin, although no evidence has been presented to substantiate these assertions. Trump's visit to Moscow that year, reportedly to explore business opportunities, has fueled ongoing speculation about his ties to Russia. Despite the allegations, Trump has consistently denied any collusion with Russia or inappropriate connections. The claims have reignited discussions on the relationship between Trump and the Kremlin, particularly during his presidency.
