Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump said he hasn't discussed US intelligence that alleged Russia offered bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US troops in Afghanistan with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a recent telephone call. Trump is not known to fully or regularly read the President's Daily Brief, something that is well-known within the White House. Trump and Putin have had at least one call over the past five months, according to a CNN count. The White House, however, has said there was a lack of consensus in the intelligence community about the bounty intelligence. Trump has repeatedly deferred to Putin when presented with US intelligence alleging nefarious activity by Russia.
