Trump Offers Tariff Discounts to African Nations That Accept Deportees

He says the official conclusion reeks of corruption and cover-up.

CIA Under Fire Over Russia Hoax Report
A newly declassified report reveals that former CIA Director John Brennan manipulated intelligence to falsely claim Russia helped elect Trump in 2016.
