Thanks but no thanks.
That’s the message from FBI Director Christopher Wray, who says he’s not interested in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s offer to have American investigators go to Russia to observe interviews of suspects wanted by the U.S.
“I never want to say never, but it’s certainly not high on our list of investigative techniques,” Wray said wryly at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg News.
Wray also dismissed Putin’s proposed that Russian investigators be allowed to come to the U.S. and observe questioning of suspects that they’re interested in.
“That’s probably even lower on our list of investigative techniques,” Wray said.
On the Mueller probe, Wray said:
“I think it’s a professional investigation conducted by a man that I’ve known to be a straight shooter.”
