Summary

In a turn of events, a former top FBI official, who played a key role in the Trump-Russia collusion probe, was just sentenced to four years in prison for colluding with Russia. Those four years might only be the beginning, given that he is facing indictments for hiding $225,000 in payments from a former Albanian intelligence officer. 🇺🇸 Epoch Times 25¢ Sale: https://ept.ms/RomanSale1

The man in question is named Charles McGonigal—a top FBI official who previously led the FBI’s New York counterintelligence division. In January of this year, Mr. McGonigal was arrested and slapped with two separate indictments.
One indictment was related to the secret Albanian money (that case is still ongoing), while the second was related to Mr. McGonigal taking bribes from a Russian oligarch to investigate a rival Russian oligarch. The second indictment charged Mr. McGonigal with counts including conspiracy to evade U.S. sanctions, money laundering, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and conspiracy to violate federal law against doing business with sanctioned individuals.

Mr. McGonigal pled guilty to these charges and was sentenced to four years in prison, as well as a fine of $40,000.
