In February 2025, Alnur Mussayev, a former Soviet and Kazakh security official, claimed in a Facebook post that U.S. President Donald Trump was recruited in 1987 by the KGB, the intelligence agency of the Soviet Union, and assigned the code name "Krasnov."
Mussayev's post didn't state whether he personally recruited Trump or simply knew about the recruitment, nor did it state whether Trump actively participated in espionage or was just a potential asset.
Trump did visit Moscow in 1987, but there is no clear evidence suggesting he was actively recruited by the KGB during that trip or at any other time.

I believe the former agent, the KGB doesn't leak.

This also ties in with Krasnov - Epstein. Epstein asked Krasnov advice about buying a mansion in Florida, Krasnov screwed Epstein and bought the mansion himself which he later sold to a Russian oligarch for a significant profit. The oligarch never occupied it, he simply bulldozed it over.

This is why there was a falling out between Epstein and Krasnov, it had nothing to do with sex trafficking, everything to do about money.
