Russia Claims it Expelled an American Spy in January
News comes shortly after an alleged CIA agent was caught trying to recruit a Russian agent
MOSCOW -- Russian state television has aired footage provided by Russia's security services claiming that another alleged American spy was expelled earlier this year.
Russia on Tuesday ordered a U.S. diplomat to leave the country after the FSB claimed to have caught him red-handed trying to recruit a Russian agent in Moscow. The FSB alleges that Ryan Fogle, a third secretary at the U.S. Embassy, works for the CIA.
In the footage aired Wednesday, a man identified only as an FSB operative and sitting in near darkness said a "CIA operative" was expelled in January.
The U.S. Embassy had no immediate comment.
