Defense Secretary Mark Esper testified on Thursday that he had no recollection of receiving any briefings that “included the word bounty,” amid reports claiming Russia offered bounties to Afghan militants for killing U.S. soldiers.
During a hearing before the House Armed Services Committee, Esper was asked about the reports.
“To the best of my recollection, I have not received a briefing that included the word bounty,” Esper said.
Esper was then asked where the intelligence on Russian bounties came from, to which he replied: "It was not produced by a DoD intelligence agency."
