The Washington Post's Pulitzer Prize-winning national security correspondent Greg Miller reviewed former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's new book, "The Threat," and noted this chilling anecdote:
"Inevitably, the book includes disturbing new detail about Trump’s subservience to Russian President Vladimir Putin. During an Oval Office briefing in July 2017, Trump refused to believe U.S. intelligence reports that North Korea had test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile — a test that Kim Jong Un had called a Fourth of July "gift” to “the arrogant Americans.”Who knows what else Putin has told this useful idiot that will endanger our national security?
Trump dismissed the missile launch as a “hoax,” McCabe writes. “He thought that North Korea did not have the capability to launch such missiles. He said he knew this because Vladimir Putin had told him so.” (our emphasis)
