North Korea Demanded Washington Pay $2 Million Bill For Otto Warmbier's Medical Care

Wait. First they arrest him for stealing something in the hotel and basically kill him. Then they ship him home to the U.S. and he dies. BUT, Trump pays them $2 million for the healthcare he received? What the f#ck?!

The Washington Post just cast doubt on President Trump's assertion that Kim Jong Un was unaware of American college student Otto Warmbier's brutal treatment at the hands of the North Korean state by revealing that the US officials who negotiated for Warmbier's release were presented with a $2 million bill for his medical care.

In a report that seems suspiciously ill-timed (hitting just hours after Kim wrapped up his first summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin), WaPo reported that the North wouldn't release Warmbier until the negotiators had signed a document promising to pay for his medical care, which they were instructed to sign by President Trump, who had discussed it with former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

Warmbier's detention in an exclusive state hospital reserved for foreign patients, the presence of the massive bill, and the quality of care the young man received - which an American doctor begrudgingly admitted was "excellent" - all suggest that Kim likely knew about Warmbier's case, and had probably been following it closely.
