On February 8, 2026, former KGB officer and ex‑chief of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, Alnur Mussayev, publicly claimed that both the Kremlin and Kazakhstan are in possession of compromising video material allegedly linked to U.S. President Donald Trump. According to Mussayev, files held by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) and by Kazakhstan’s security service (KNB) include what he described as “kompromat,” potentially including film footage from Trump’s stay at the Ritz‑Carlton hotel in Moscow in 2013. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Mussayev, who served in Soviet and Kazakh intelligence, reiterated long‑running allegations made in earlier interviews about Trump’s ties to Russian influence operations. He claimed that the alleged material was shared between intelligence services and even referenced past meetings in which such material was discussed. Mussayev’s assertions have surfaced in interviews broadcast on Ukrainian television and reported by international media. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

There is no independent verification of the existence of such compromising video or of the claims made by Mussayev. U.S. and Russian officials have not confirmed that any such material exists or is held in intelligence archives, and Mussayev’s past claims about Trump’s recruitment by Soviet intelligence have not been substantiated with public evidence. Critics note that allegations about “kompromat” often circulate without supporting documentation and should be treated with caution. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The topic of alleged foreign influence and compromising material has been a recurring point of speculation around Trump’s relationships with Russia and former Soviet states, but experts caution that Mussayev’s recent remarks reflect personal assertions rather than verified intelligence findings. No credible public evidence has emerged to confirm the specific video claims or the alleged contents of the files referenced in Mussayev’s statements. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
