'As bad as it gets': Trump attacked by Pelosi for ignoring briefing on Russia placing bounties on US soldiers
Speaker has vowed to investigate what the president knew about the Russian bounty programme in Afghanistan
It was "totally outrageous" for Donald Trump not to respond to reports that the same Russian intelligence cells that attacked the 2016 US election also offered bounties on US soldiers for Taliban fighters, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said.
"This is as bad as it gets, and yet the president will not confront the Russians on this score," Ms Pelosi said on Sunday in an interview with ABC News.
"This is totally outrageous. You would think that the minute he heard of this the president would want to know more instead of denying anything," Ms Pelosi said.
"Now he says it's fake news. Why would he say that? Why wouldn't he say, 'Let's look into it'?" the speaker said.
