Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia is ready to grant the former head of the FBI James Komi political asylum. He said this during a “Straight line”.
According to him, Russia is ready to take Komi if in the US against him will begin any prosecution.
“Suddenly he said that he recorded the conversation with the President (of the USA Donald trump – ed.), and then through his friend, gave this talk in the media. Well, that sounds very strange. When the head of the intelligence services record the conversation with the Supreme commander, and then another, through his friend, reports in the media. And what if the FBI Director is different from Mr Snowden? Then he is not the head of intelligence service, and he is the advocate who defends a certain position. By the way, if in this regard against any prosecution will occur, we and he (Komi) is ready to provide political asylum in Russia. He must know about it”, — Putin said.
We will remind, after trump was removed from the post of the head of the Komi FBI on may 9, appeared in the press leak with the assumptions that trump tried to push the officer and his investigation. However, the former Director of the FBI was careful in the wording and did not directly accuse the President of obstructing justice.
Earlier it was reported that the Komi could be fired by trump for two reasons: from-for unwillingness to be personally loyal to the Trump or due to the activation of the FBI’s investigation on the fact of possible collusion between members of the team trump and Russia.
Former FBI Director investigating alleged “ties trump of Russia”, which deny as the White house and the Kremlin.
The rival trump in the presidential election of 2016, Hillary Clinton also accused of Komi is that he has achieved for its defeat, extending 10 days before the election, lacking confirmation information about the new investigation against her.
