Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un who was assassinated in Malaysia in 2017, had been an informant for the US Central Intelligence Agency, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. The Journal quoted the source as saying, 'There was a nexus,' between the CIA and Jong Nam. The Daily Mail previously reported that the CIA handed Jong Nam tens of thousands of dollars shortly before his death. Yet they still were initially charged with killing Jong Nam. US President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un have met twice, in Hanoi in February and Singapore last June.
