Megyn Kelly Will Moderate Session with Putin in St. Petersburg Next Month

It appears that Megyn Kelly will be speaking with Vladimir Putin after all.

There was a rumor circulating that an interview was in the works, but now NBC News has said in a statement that Kelly will be moderating an event with the Russian president at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum next month:

Page Six reported on the news earlier today, noting that last month they reported “NBC News chief Andy Lack had traveled to Russia to lay the groundwork for a Putin interview.”

And so we’ll have to see if Kelly ends up getting a one-on-one interview with Putin after all.
