Digest more
Aldrich Ames, who has died aged 84, had a 32-year career with the CIA and was a double agent for the last nine of them; he did to the CIA what Kim Philby did to British Intelligence, but did it for the money rather than any enthusiasm for Communism.
The CIA has assessed that Ukraine was not targeting a residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin in a recent drone attack, a claim that Putin told President Trump, and that Trump seemed to accept.
