CIA director Pompeo met top Russian spies

Washington (CNN)CIA Director Mike Pompeo recently met with his Russian counterparts when they traveled to the US, according to US ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman.

Russian media is reporting those who met with Pompeo may have included the country's sanctioned spy chief, Sergey Naryshkin.

Talks between top US and Russian intelligence officials occurred just days before Pompeo once again warned that Russia will attempt to meddle in the 2018 US midterm elections and the Trump administration released a sweeping list of prominent Russian political and business figures in defiance of Moscow.

While neither US nor Russian officials explicitly said that Pompeo and Naryshkin met, both sides confirmed that talks occurred between intelligence counterparts and Antonov said that Naryshkin made a trip to the US for discussions.

7. Pompeo was an easy mark forTrump...

The Head of the CIA meets with the Russia Head of Foreign Intelligence Service? The Congress had sanctioned the same Intelligence Chief and Trump him into the front door, with the assistance of Mike Pompeo. "No collusion", he screams! Those laws were passed under Obama... we don't consider them legitimate laws....blah...blah..."
