0:21Now PlayingUS President Joe Biden says he doesn't know what happened regarding a plane crash possibly involving Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, but he "is not surprised."
This comes after a private jet crashed in Russia on Wednesday, killing all 10 people aboard, emergency officials said.
Mercenary chief Prigozhin was on the passenger list, but it wasn't immediately clear if he was on board.
US President Joe Biden was asked for his reaction and if he thought Russian President Vladimir Putin might be involved.
Biden, who is on vacation, commented on his way out of an exercise class that he had attended with his wife, Jill and other family members.
Prigozhin’s fate has been the subject of intense speculation ever since he mounted a short-lived mutiny against Russia’s military leadership in late June.
The Kremlin said the founder of the Wagner private military company, which fought alongside Russia’s regular army in Ukraine, would be exiled to Belarus.
But the mercenary chief has since reportedly popped up in Russia, leading to further questions about his future.
