Trump was recruited by KGB in Soviet times – political scientist Felshtynskyi

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

"I think that Trump was recruited by the KGB of the USSR. He was and is an agent of the Kremlin and Putin. There are many facts to prove this, but it has always been difficult to prove the agent's cooperation with any person. The proof that Trump is an agent of the Kremlin is that he has never said anything bad about Putin. It's hard to believe, but it is one of the conditions for recruiting agents of the Russian special services," he explained.

The political scientist also explained that proving a person's involvement in foreign intelligence services has always been a problem.

"Intelligence services have always had problems with how to prove a person's involvement in foreign intelligence. An example is the story of Oleg Gordievsky, who was recruited by British intelligence. He was suspected of collaborating with foreign intelligence, but no evidence was found during the months of investigation. He was released and simply fled," Felshtynskyi added.
