CIA paid Russian spy who offered 'dirt' on Trump $100K

"Here's a cloak and dagger story that would be hilarious if it wasn't so frightening.

The CIA thought they had an opportunity to recover hacking tools that had been stolen from the NSA last year courtesy of a shadowy Russian spy. The Russian also offered the CIA compromising pictures and video of Donald Trump. The asking price was $1 million, of which, the CIA gave the spy $100,000.

Eventually, the CIA figured out they were being had. "
