Republican senators on Tuesday said reports on intelligence suggesting Russia may have offered bounties for the killing of American troops were portrayed wrong, saying the intelligence wasn’t conclusive or verified.

Major newspapers “reported on unverified and inconclusive intelligence as though it had been conclusively determined that Russia paid bounties on U.S. troops,” Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) said at the U.S. Capitol after taking part in a briefing on the intelligence.
