Ex-FBI official McGonigal set to plead guilty to charges related to work for Russian oligarch

McGonigal was indicted on charges of violating US sanctions, money laundering, and working secretly for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.
Prosecutors allege McGonigal took concealed payments from Deripaska in exchange for investigating his rival and trying to get sanctions lifted.
McGonigal was charged in two separate indictments in New York and Washington D.C. relating to the oligarch work.
His lawyer has indicated McGonigal will likely plead guilty and hopes to resolve the cases without a trial.
As an FBI counterintelligence official, McGonigal played a key role investigating Trump campaign ties to Russia.
