INDICTMENT ISSUED IN ROBERT MUELLER INVESTIGATION:
As part of the Robert Mueller Investigation, charges were unsealed against former Trump campaign chairman Paul MANAFORT and senior campaign officer Richard GATES. Former foreign policy adviser George PAPADOPOULOS's guilty plea on 05 October 2017 was also unsealed. PAPADOPOULOS had attempted to arrange meetings between campaign officials and the Russian government in 2016 and had met with individuals connected with the Russian government. On 01 December 2017, former National Security Adviser Michael FLYNN pleaded guilty to making false statements about his conversations with the Russian Ambassador to the United States. On 16 February 2018, an indictment against 13 Russians and three Russian companies was announced. GATES pleaded guilty on 23 February 2018. On 13 July 2018, 12 Russian GRU intelligence officers were indicted for conducting cyberattacks against the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 presidential election. Paul MANFORT's trial began on 31 July 2018 and on 21 August, he was found guilty of eight counts with 10 of the other counts being declared a mistrial. On 14 September, MANAFORT pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate, but in late November, Mueller investigators alleged that MANAFORT had breached the plea agreement by continuing to lie to federal investigators. In January 2019, Trump-associate Roger STONE was indicted on charges of witness tampering and obstruction of justice.
1946: Joseph E. Davies, former American Ambassador to Moscow, declared that Soviet Russia had a moral right to resort to espionage to procure atomic secrets. Davies argued that the US refusal to give the bomb to the Soviets was, as he expressed it, "hostile.”
“Monica Witt is charged with revealing to the Iranian regime a highly classified intelligence program and the identity of a U.S. Intelligence Officer, all in violation of the law, her solemn oath to protect and defend our country, and the bounds of human decency. Four Iranian cyber hackers are also charged with various computer crimes targeting members of the U.S. intelligence community who were Ms. Witt’s former colleagues. This case underscores the dangers to our intelligence professionals and the lengths our adversaries will go to identify them, expose them, target them, and, in a few rare cases, ultimately turn them against the nation they swore to protect. When our intelligence professionals are targeted or betrayed, the National Security Division will relentlessly pursue justice against the wrong-doers.” - Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers, 13 February 2019.
