FBI Director Kash Patel is planning a visit to Russia in October, according to Politico – the first such trip by an FBI chief since Robert Mueller travelled to Moscow in 2013. Meetings in both Moscow and St Petersburg are to be hosted by Russia's FSB. The visit fits into the White House's broader push to ease tensions with the Kremlin and has sparked significant debate in Washington.
