Today, Rep. Lois Frankel (FL-21) issued the following statement in response to reports alleging that Russian military intelligence secretly offered Taliban-connected militants bounties for killing American and coalition troops in Afghanistan.

“Reports that Russian military intelligence secretly offered Taliban-connected militants bounties for killing American and coalition troops in Afghanistan are alarming and sickening. Families of our military expect the American government to keep their loved ones out of harm’s way whenever possible. That’s why there are many serious questions regarding what President Trump is hiding and what he is doing to address threats to American and allied troops and to hold Russia accountable. The lack of credible action by the President is inexplicable.”
