“Albania is a NATO ally and part of the Security Council. The McGonigal issue has not harmed our good relationship with Albania at all. Albania has helped us a lot on Security Council. However, I don’t want to comment too much on McGonigal as it is a matter for the FBI,” said Escobar in an online conversation with reporters.

According to Klan television, the senior US official also stated that the US State Department is not part of the investigations launched against the former head of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Department. /sm/
