Eight years ago, my research with @timfrye.bsky.social@kailmarkvart.bsky.social, and Reuter formed the basis for a PolitFact rating of a (rare) statement by DJT as “True.” Yesterday, I was one of many to suggest that DJT was lying through his teeth about Navalny. We call them like we see them.

Kostya, you are correct. It’s here in Sec. 1250A of the NDAA—worth reading in its entirety. www.congress.gov/bill/118th-c...
