Five suspects in the Russia spy case were hastily ordered to New York on Wednesday amid reports that the U.S. and Russia are arranging a spy swap.

The third-ranking U.S. diplomat, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs William Burns, a former American ambassador to Moscow, had a Wednesday morning meeting with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.

Officials declined to comment on what happened at the meeting, the location of which was identified only as Washington, D.C. Neither the Justice Department nor the State Department would comment on reports of a developing swap.
