00:00Do you have information or misinformation?
00:05With Marc Paupe this evening, good evening.
00:08Good evening Antoine.
00:09Many internet users are proud.
00:10It's simple: Donald Trump was allegedly recruited by the KGB, the Soviet intelligence service.
00:15Why is this happening?
00:16This information appeared on social media.
00:20While Donald Trump has been multiplying his efforts in recent months...
00:25...pro-Russian positions.
00:27Internet users who share this information are...
00:30...based their claims on a message posted on Facebook by a man named Alnour...
00:35...MoussaĂŻev, it was published on February 20th.
00:38This gentleman told us this in 1990.
00:40I served in the Sixth Directorate of the KGB of the USSR in Moscow, the most important area of ââwork.
00:45The sixth direction was the recruitment of businessmen from capitalist countries.
00:49And that year, our...
00:50...management recruited a 40-year-old American businessman, Donald Trump, under the pseudonym...
00:55...of Krasnov, as can be seen here.
00:57This information is being widely shared on social media.
01:00by internet users who are thus republishing the front page of the daily newspaper...
01:05...Bist, an American newspaper that reported this information, and also...
01:10...photos of Donald Trump during his trip to Russia in 1990.
01:15...in 1993, in 1987, sorry, with his wife Ivana.
01:18So what do we know about this claim?
01:20Well, let's first take a look at this Mr. Alnour Mou...
01:25...there it is, in a message published back in 2018.
01:29Well, he was posting on Facebook.
01:30This information is based on my operational work experience...
01:35...of the KGB, I can say with certainty that Trump belongs to the category of people...
01:40...perfectly recruited.
01:41I have no doubt that Russia has a compromise on the President of the United States that...
01:45...for many years, the Kremlin promoted Trump to the position of president of the...
01:50...the world's main power.
01:53It's hard to say if it is...
01:55...indeed true, but several inconsistencies can be noted in this account...
02:00...Mr. MoussaĂŻef.
02:01Indeed, biographies can be found on the internet...
02:05...from this Alnour MoussaĂŻef, and we learn in particular that...
02:09...while he said...
02:10...having worked for the KGB, the Sixth Directorate of the KGB in 1987.
02:14Well, this biography...
02:15...said the opposite, since she told us that from 1986 to 1989...
02:20...he worked at the central office of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs...
02:23...then he went back to...
02:25...KGB, moreover, according to the Kazakh historian...
02:29...Dani...
02:30...Achim BaĂŻef, who then published a message on the social network Telegram.
02:35He said that the sixth directorate was not involved in the recruitment of citizens...
02:40...foreigners because she worked on a slightly different line.
02:44It was actually...
02:45...the first KGB office which was responsible for recruiting foreign agents.
02:49Some information...
02:50...also confirmed by American journalist Thomas Smith Jr.
02:55In this work entitled Encyclopedia of the CIA, he tells us this...
03:00...the sixth directorate was tasked with enforcing financial and commercial laws...
03:05...and to protect against economic espionage.
03:08However, we can confirm...
03:10...that's because Donald Trump did indeed go to Moscow in 1987, as he says...
03:15...this Politico article, it seems, to examine possible locations...
03:20...future hotels of losers.
03:21And this is not the first time such an accusation has been leveled against Donald Trump.
03:25No, far from it, since back in 2021 the American journalist Craig...
03:30...who published this book called American Compromise...
03:35...in this book he interviews a former KGB spy, a certain Yuri Hvetz...
03:40...who also claims that Donald Trump had been compromised by the...
03:45...in Russia and that it had been cultivated as a Russian asset for at least...
03:50...at 40 years old, this is also what this Russian KGB agent confirmed...
03:55...to The Guardian newspaper, a British newspaper which is therefore...
04:00...who told us that, in particular, the KGB had launched a charm offensive on Donald Trump...
04:05...and that he had been very receptive to spreading propaganda.
04:10...particularly anti-Western. Thus, one can read the following...
04:15...the feeling was that he was extremely vulnerable, whether...
04:20...intellectually as well as psychologically, and that he was very sensitive to...
04:25...flattery, we can read, and then, remember also, there was also in 2017, a little before...
04:30...the arrival of Donald Trump in power, this controversy surrounding...
04:35...information allegedly held by the Russians on Donald Trump, including a sex tape...
04:40...and that's why they made him sing. That's why...
04:43...they had pushed them to make an effort...
04:45...false information on social media to do so and read at the head of states.
04:50...united in particular. So, it's difficult to know if all of this is actually true.
04:55However, it should be noted that Donald Trump, for his part, denies...
05:00...categorically, she did, notably here, in this tweet published on July 27, 2019, where she tells us...
05:04...there is no...
05:05...neither collusion nor obstruction.
05:07Thank you very much, Marc Pau, for Info or Intox.
05:10...360, it continues on France 24.
