Where this statement fits
Raskin and Himes urge Kash Patel to call off a reported Russia trip; MS NOW corrects a report that he had landed there
POLITICO reported in July 2026 that FBI Director Kash Patel planned to visit Moscow and St. Petersburg on October 14 and 15, likely hosted by Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB). On October 9, Reps. Jamie Raskin and Jim Himes, the top Democrats on the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees, released a letter asking Patel to call off the trip, citing the FSB's record of espionage against U.S. officials. On October 14, MS NOW reported that Patel had landed in Russia. The FBI posted video of Patel at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, and MS NOW corrected its report on air that afternoon, saying the timing of any potential trip remains unclear.
