Quote:The FBI has tried to meet with two self-proclaimed "sex coaches" held in a Thai jail who claim to have information about Russian efforts to meddle in the 2016 election, CNN reported Tuesday. FBI agents contacted Thailand's Immigration Bureau last week to try to set up a meeting with Anastasia Vashukevich and Alexander Kirillov, both Belarusian citizens, CNN reported, citing a high-level Thai official. Thai officials turned down that request, however, because only the detainees' lawyers and family members are permitted access to them. The U.S. Embassy in Bangkok referred CNN's questions about the matter to Thai law enforcement. Vashukevich and Kirillov sent a handwritten letter to the U.S. Embassy last month offering to provide evidence of Russian meddling to U.S. authorities in exchange for asylum.FBI tried to contact jailed ’sex coaches’ who say they have proof of Russian interferences: CNN | TheHill
