Former Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the FBI Counterintelligence Division in New York, Charles McGonigal, 54, of New York City, pleaded guilty today to conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and to commit money laundering in connection with his 2021 agreement to provide services to Oleg Deripaska, a sanctioned Russian oligarch. Who is he and why does it matter? It was him and (suspected) Rudy Guiliani who pressured FBI Director Comey to announce 11 days before the 2016 election that they were reopening an investigation into Hillary and her emails.
