EDIT: As per Trump being told, CNN still seems to rely on the NYT.
David Gergen on CNN: He would have been briefed "instantaneously.

I wonder if the GOP is ready to bounce Trump?

Have any of the news organizations looked at the deaths of US soldiers to see if there is any correlation between deaths and Afghan militants or criminals in an attempt to verify the bounty story?
I mean there are dead bodies and after action reports etc
Were the deaths in combat, by ambush or assassination ? My understanding is there are something like 2 dozen deaths.
It seems to me the intelligence agencies and the military would know or would like to know
Seems pretty straightforward to me. Trump is claiming fake news , should be easy to find out the truth
Perhaps out of respect for the soldiers families it is a secret?
