Guardian (UK)- Donald Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset over 40 years and proved so willing to parrot anti-western propaganda that there were celebrations in Moscow, a former KGB spy has told the Guardian.
Yuri Shvets, posted to Washington by the Soviet Union in the 1980s, compares the former US president to “the Cambridge five”, the British spy ring that passed secrets to Moscow during the second world war and early cold war
Now 67, Shvets is a key source for American Kompromat, a new book by journalist Craig Unger, whose previous works include House of Trump, House of Putin. The book also explores the former president’s relationship with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Former President Donald Trump was often accused of going soft on Russian President Vladimir Putin during his term in office, even when Moscow was charged with paying Taliban extremists to target American troops deployed in Afghanistan. The general mood was upset with the former commander-in-chief alleging that he was not stern enough when it came to the Cold War-time foe even though Trump repeatedly claimed that no other president has been as strong with Moscow like him.
Now, a new book has come up with shocking revelations that would make the former presidentâs critics feel vindicated. It has claimed that Trump had been nurtured as a Russian asset more than four decades ago and it culminated into a long relationship of mutual benefit to both Moscow and the businessman-politician.
