According to The Mirror, recent claims have surfaced suggesting that U.S. President Donald Trump may have been recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov”. Alnur Mussayev, the former head of Kazakhstan’s intelligence service, recently asserted in a Facebook post that Trump, then a 40-year-old real estate mogul, was targeted by Soviet intelligence during his first visit to Moscow.
While Mussayev has not provided documentary proof, he argues that any official records on Trump would likely be in the hands of Russian President Vladimir Putin. His claim echoes previous assertions by ex-KGB operatives, such as Yuri Shvets, a former KGB major now residing in Washington, D.C., who was a key source for Craig Unger’s book American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump.
Shortly after Mussayev’s statement, another former KGB agent, Sergei Zhyrnov, reinforced the allegations in an interview with a Ukrainian journalist. According to Zhyrnov, during Trump’s Moscow trip, he would have been closely monitored by KGB operatives at all times—including his drivers, hotel staff, and even potential acquaintances. He suggests that Trump may have been ensnared in a “honey trap” involving Soviet-controlled foreign-currency prostitutes or compromised through business dealings with Moscow officials while attempting to advance his hotel ambitions in Russia.
Although no definitive proof has been presented, the fact that multiple former KGB officers—located in different countries and speaking at different times—corroborate similar accounts raises questions. The theory that Trump was cultivated as an asset offers a possible explanation for his persistent admiration of Vladimir Putin, his skepticism toward NATO, and his policies favoring authoritarian regimes over democratic allies.
Supporters of Trump may dismiss these allegations as political attacks, possibly orchestrated by intelligence agencies or political rivals. However, with even Russia’s own intelligence circles rumored to be divided, some speculate that internal dissenters may be responsible for bringing these claims to light.
While no smoking gun has emerged, the allegations suggest a broader pattern of behavior that aligns with Kremlin interests. Whether these claims hold weight remains uncertain, but the possibility of a long-standing connection between Trump and Russian intelligence continues to spark debate. It is also possible that Slovenian-born Melania Trump is also the Kremlin’s handler for Donald Trump.
Given Melania’s poor English skills, the fact that her parents were known communists in Slovenia, and her questionable path to becoming a U.S. citizen on an Einstein visa as a barely working model, it’s possible she was strategically placed in Trump’s life to get close to him. Knowing his affinity with European women, Melani Knauss could have been sent on a KGB mission to marry Trump, manipulate him, and push him toward running for president, which he ultimately did multiple times.
