https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-t ... cbm-2019-2President Donald Trump believed Russian President Vladimir Putin over his own intelligence agencies on North Korea, former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe said in his new book, "The Threat," according to The Washington Post.
North Korea tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile on July 4, 2017.
Trump insisted intelligence reports that North Korea had launched an ICBM were incorrect because Putin had told him that North Korea did not have that capability, the book says, per The Post.
The president has repeatedly clashed with the US intelligence community on a wide range of issues.
