A former FBI counterintelligence chief, Frank Figliuzzi, has voiced serious worries about a vanished Russian intel file from the end of Trump’s presidency, suggesting it might have landed in Russian hands.
Figliuzzi’s remarks on MSNBC underscore the need for a thorough inquiry into the handling of this sensitive information and its potential impact on U.S. national security, as reported by Raw Story on Sunday, December 17, 2023.
Expressing distress, Figliuzzi emphasized the urgency of understanding the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) approach to investigating the missing ten-inch binder, filled with raw intel reports from U.S. and foreign sources.
What is the special counsel doing about this? What is DOJ doing about this missing binder? And the evidence is that it appears the former chief of staff has it, Figliuzzi stated, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
Figliuzzi raised crucial questions about the investigation, wondering if a search warrant should be issued for Mark Meadows, the former chief of staff, and if this matter is part of a broader inquiry led by seasoned prosecutor Jack Smith.
We’ve got to know what happened with this binder, and more importantly, whether this was a mere accident, or whether the intention was to hand it to Russia to expose U.S. intel sources and methods against Russia, Figliuzzi concluded, underlining the potential severity of the situation.
The missing intel file sparks concerns about compromising sensitive information, potentially affecting national security and intelligence operations.
The call for transparency and urgency in the investigation comes amid ongoing debates about foreign interference and safeguarding classified information.
The Raw Story sought comment from the Department of Justice on the investigation and any updates regarding the missing intel file but had not received a response at the time of publication.
As the investigation unfolds, the nation will be closely watching to understand the circumstances surrounding the missing intel file and whether it poses a threat to U.S. national security.
Raw Story remains dedicated to providing updates on this developing story and illuminating efforts to uncover the truth behind this alarming incident.
