Last year, President Trump was persuaded to expel 60 Russian diplomats in the wake of the Salisbury incident.
From NY Times:

"During the discussion, Ms. Haspel, then deputy C.I.A. director, turned toward Mr. Trump. She outlined possible responses in a quiet but firm voice, then leaned forward and told the president that the “strong option” was to expel 60 diplomats.
To persuade Mr. Trump, according to people briefed on the conversation, officials including Ms. Haspel also tried to show him that Mr. Skripal and his daughter were not the only victims of Russia’s attack.
Ms. Haspel showed pictures the British government had supplied her of young children hospitalized after being sickened by the Novichok nerve agent that poisoned the Skripals. She then showed a photograph of ducks that British officials said were inadvertently killed by the sloppy work of the Russian operatives."
There is only one problem… NO children were taken ill and NO ducks died.
SO:
1) Did Haspel know this and she deliberately lied to Trump; or
2) Did Haspel not know and was given FAKE information (and photographs) by MI6?
Either way this is HUGE!!
