We are actively investigating through our connections to gather more details.

As we've stated in our post, we are not claiming this is true. In the U.S., media outlets typically issue retractions if something is false, rather than quietly removing it from the internet.

The article, "Donald Trump Was Recruited by the KGB Under Codename 'Krasnov' Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief" by Nafeez Ahmed and Zarina Zabrisky posted  21 February 2025 begins:

"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'.

Russia's 'Committee for State Security', abbreviated as KGB, was the main security agency of the Soviet Union between 1954 to 1991, responsible for internal security, foreign intelligence, counterintelligence and secret police functions.

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."

The full article is here and here.
