By Warren Olney • • 37m ListenIn the days of the Soviet Union, the KGB was looking for American contacts who might be useful at some time in the future. In 1977, Donald Trump came to their attention when he married his first wife, Ivana Zelnícková, a citizen of the Soviet ally, Czechoslovakia. He fit the KGB's personality profile perfectly. How much information did the former KGB have on then businessman Donald Trump? What did he learn from his interviews with the former British spy Christopher Steele, the author of the infamous dossier? Was there "collusion" between the trump campaign and Vladimir Putin's Kremlin? Why has the President never said a bad word about his Russian counterpart?
