A former senior Soviet KGB spy chief has claimed that Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence as early as 38 years ago by his department, and given the codename ‘Krasnov’.
In an extraordinary post on Facebook on 20 February, Alnur Mussayev – who used to run the successor to the Soviet-era KGB in Kazakhstan – claimed that he was personally aware of Trump’s recruitment by the agency in 1987.
The recruitment, he said, was undertaken by his own KGB department. One of the key roles of that department was to acquire intelligence through business leaders in Western countries.
What incentive would a rich man like Trump have to become a Russian spy? Sounds like bullshit.
Dude ran real estate and casinos in New York and Atlantic City. He was a mob dude. He got loans from the Russian mob. He also went bankrupt at least once. These are all public record by “reliable sources” for decades. I’m surprised you haven’t heard about this stuff.
I’m not from the US, all I know is that he was a nepo kid. Story makes more sense if he was involved with Russian mob at that time. Don’t know if I believe 1 guy saying that though. Also don’t really care to be honest

Oh, where are you from? :)
He had a lot of failed businesses, perhaps this was a reliable source of income. I’m hesitant to give this story any credit, though, until it’s picked up by a reliable source.
You don’t understand how persuasive the KGB can be?
