Whatever Happened in the Biggest Trump-Russia Scandal?

from Beyond Politics · host Matt Robison

We look back today at the biggest, and probably most forgotten scandal in the whole Trump-Russia web of corruption. When Charles McGonigal, former head of counterintelligence at the FBI, was recently convicted for money laundering and working for Russia, the media barely took notice. In this interview recorded a year ago just after McGonigal's arrest, our expert guest Craig Unger laid out just how deep the Trump-Russia-FBI ties go, and how disturbing the implications are. 00:00 Introduction: The Unseen Scandal of American Intelligence 03:06 The Forgotten Ties: Trump, Russia, and the FBI's Compromised Investigation 09:59 The Historical Context: Trump's Long-standing Ties with Russia 20:37 The Media's Role and the Need for Counterintelligence Investigation 28:29 Confronting the Challenges: How to Combat Disinformation and Silence
