The Trump White House was said to have been briefed on the reports of offered bounties. A spokesperson for the senator did not return Fox News’ request for comment on the latest details about the report from the Biden White House. Then-national security adviser Robert O’Brien said Trump himself had not been briefed on the matter because the intelligence reports "have not been verified." She also praised President Biden for calling out Russian President Vladimir Putin on the issue "at first opportunity." The White House said this week that there is evidence that Russia military intelligence interacts with individuals in Afghan criminal networks.
