As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday (00:08 Jerusalem), Politico reported that FBI Director Kash Patel is planning to visit Russia. The new report, published Tuesday morning, specifies that the visit is scheduled for October 14-15 and will include both Moscow and St. Petersburg. It is not yet known whether Patel will meet with President Vladimir Putin. The last FBI director known to have visited Russia was Robert Mueller in 2013. The report also notes Patel's controversial history regarding Russia, including his efforts to challenge the findings of investigations into possible Trump campaign collaboration with Russia during the 2016 election — a matter Patel has called the 'Russiagate hoax.'
