Putin Offers Comey Asylum

Russian President Vladimir Putin said his country is ready to offer James Comey asylum if the former FBI director faces political persecution, Politico reports.

Said Putin: “If Comey will be under the threat of political persecution, we are ready to accept him here. It sounds very strange when the head of the security services writes down a conversation with the commander-in-chief and then leaks it to the media through his friend.”
