FBI Special Agent Who Investigated Trump-Russia Collusion to Plead Guilty to Conspiring with Russian Oligarch
FBI Special Agent Charles McGonigal is expected to plead guilty next week to conspiring with a Russian oligarch.
Earlier this year former Special Agent in charge of counter-intelligence in the New York field office, Charles McGonigal, was arrested for conspiring with Oleg Deripaska, a sanctioned Russian Oligarch.
Charles McGonigal was hit with a five-count indictment and charged with “violating and conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) and with conspiring to commit money laundering and money laundering.”
Mr. McGonigal retired in 2018, according to the DOJ’s press release.
While working at the FBI, he “supervised and participated in investigations of Russian oligarchs, including Deripaska.”
