US extracted spy from Putin's Kremlin: reportsUS agents extracted a high-level mole in the Russian government who had confirmed Vladimir Putin’s direct role in interfering in the 2016 presidential election, American media reported. The individual had been providing information to US intelligence for decades, had access to Putin and had sent pictures of high-level documents on the Russian leader’s desk, CNN said. CNN, citing an unnamed person it said was involved in discussions on the asset, said the 2017 extraction was over concerns that President Donald Trump and his cabinet could expose the agent after repeated mishandling of classified intelligence.
