The agent, who also investigated ties between Donald Trump and Russia, allegedly conspired to aid a Russian oligarch in evading U.S. sanctions.
"Former FBI agent Charles McGonigal, who was head of counterintelligence in the New York Field Office and a part of the investigation into supposed ties between Trump and Russia, has been arrested for his alleged ties to Russia," Brody tweeted.
BREAKING: Former FBI agent Charles McGonigal, who was head of counterintelligence in the New York Field Office and a part of the investigation into supposed ties between Trump and Russia, has been arrested for his alleged ties to Russia.FBI Assistant Director in Charge Michael J. Driscoll called Deripaska's actions"hostile" and condemned the U.S. officials for allegedly violating the sanctions.
"Russian oligarchs like Oleg Deripaska perform global malign influence on behalf of the Kremlin and are associated with acts of bribery, extortion, and violence," Driscoll said in the press release. "After sanctions are imposed, they must be enforced equally against all U.S. citizens in order to be successful. There are no exceptions for anyone, including a former FBI official like Mr. McGonigal. Supporting a designated threat to the United States and our allies is a crime the FBI will continue to pursue aggressively," Driscoll added.
