An ex-FBI official who was part of the bureau’s Trump-Russian collusion probe into former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiring with a Russian oligarch, the Justice Department announced.
Charles McGonigal pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and conspiring to commit money laundering in connection with his efforts to get a Russian oligarch removed from the U.S. sanctions list. He faces up to five years in prison for each count.
Federal prosecutors in New York and Washington filed separate indictments against McGonigal accusing him of illegally accepting payments for his work with Oleg Deripaska, a sanctioned Russian oligarch. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges in Washington and there is no indication that he will change his plea there.
