A former Soviet intelligence officer has claimed
Donald Trump was recruited by the
KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.”
The bombshell allegation was made by Alnur Mussayev, a former Kazakh intelligence chief, in a Facebook post.

One of the directorate’s primary objectives, he claimed, was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”
According to Mussayev, Trump, then a 40-year-old New York real estate developer, was one of those recruits.

The document, according to intelligence sources, instructed agents to target “prominent figures in the West” with the aim of “drawing them into some form of collaboration with us… as an agent, or confidential or special or unofficial contact.” Mussayev’s claim appears to suggest that Trump may have been one such target.
