Was Trump recruited as a Russian spy in 1987? | LBC

An ex-KGB spy has claimed that Donald Trump was recruited as a Russian asset over 40 years ago, operating under the codename 'Krasnov'.

The claim first surfaced in a Facebook post by ex-KGB officer Alnur Mussayev and such claims escalated further after Twitter user @anthony7andrews put together a thread of 'evidence' to back the allegation.

"Now that it’s been revealed that Trump has been a Russian asset for 40 years named Krasnov by the FSB, I will write a simple thread of various pieces of information that solidifies the truth of everything I’ve written. Please read and share."

Andrew Marr is joined by former spy chief Sir David Omand, who weighs in on the conspiracy.
