Putin: Russia ready to grant asylum to former FBI Director James Comey
15 Jun, 2017 RTNews
President Vladimir Putin says Russia is ready to grant James Comey asylum, and that the former FBI director "should be aware of that." He went on to question the difference between Comey and former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
"[Comey] suddenly said he recorded a conversation with Trump, and then handed the tape over to the media, which is strange," Putin said during his annual Q&A session on Thursday, noting that the leak put Comey in a vulnerable position.
"What's the difference between him and Mr [Edward] Snowden then? He’s a human rights activist then, not an intelligence chief," Putin said.
"At any rate, if this entails some kind of prosecutions against him [Comey], we are ready to grant him asylum in Russia. He should be aware of that," he added.
