what did deripaska pay paul manafort money to do? >> well, you know, look, in terms of that connection, you know, paying money to ultimately, you know, gain access or influence, but i just want to take a step back here as well, which is, you know, a lot of the story's lead-in understandably is connected to deripaska in russia. but i think tom's point, the broader point, is important here, which is you'll have as agents, as prosecutors, exceptional responsibility and power and control at the fbi and department of justice, and the allegations here are someone who appears to have not only abused that authority of power but some of the allegations are that there is even a criminal investigation that was opened that's connected with some of the payments at issue. and so, the russian connection is important, but it's also important to take a step back and the broader allegations are incredibly troubling. >> let's do both. start where you want to start, brandon. >> okay. >> take me through. the investigation was involving deripaska, am i re

mcgonigal oversaw investigations into deripaska and other russian oligarchs as part of his supervisory role. he would have known all the comings and goings. and if you chose to cherry pick what you saw. >> he would have just a treasure trove of information to be able to pass to these people in a separate set of charges. prosecutors say mcgonigal deceive the fbi about relationships with foreign nationals that he had while he was still working for them. even meeting with the prime minister of albania and encouraging him to be wary of giving oil contracts to russian companies. prosecutors say it was all in the hopes of benefiting mcconnell's associate and earning mcgonigal $225,000 in cash which he failed to report on fbi forms. so to see someone at this high level in the government fall prey to something like this. it's just it's it's that little bit mind boggling. >> that was evan lambert reporting for us this afternoon. it's %n investigation that may finally answer the big holiday question. is santa real question. is santa real details after the break? have heart failure and still expe

the fbi, to have accepted secret payments from the very russian oligarch he had investigated, oleg deripaskaes and is sanctioned for his role in russia's 2016 election interference. to talk about this, we turn to frank montoya, who retired from the fbi as special agent in charge in the seattle office, and from 2012-2014, was the u.s. government's top counter-intelligence official welcome back to the newshour. you called charlie mcgonigal a friend. how shocking is this? frank: i'm still having a hard time processing it. we worked together on a lot of stuff and to hear this come out, it has shaken me to my foundations. geoff: two former senior officials tell me today this will force the fbi and the intelligence community as a whole to re-examine all of the work he did, and i just laidut how sensitive his work was. how significant is that? frank: it is snificant in that he was a network a long time. they have to go through everything he touched because of the nature of the relationships that are alleged and charged in these indictments. nick: the indictmentsnly have what the justice department

. >> paul manafort was the go between for oleg deripaska and gave him polling information on the campaign. >> and also paid christopher steele who was the key guy on the whole steele dossier that launched the trump investigation. mr. mcgonigal the special agent at the fbi. this is where we look at this attack of the weaponization of government. we're focused on the number of things we've seen. i haven't even gotten to the department of homeland security. >> i want to unpack a little bit. you talk about the fbi abusing power when it comes to parents and the school board. school board members were getting death threats. these weren't idle things, parents just yelling and screaming. these were actual death threats to elected officials and the fbi got a tip. should they not look into a death threat when an elected official gets a death threat? >> the school board writes a letter on september 29. five days later the attorney general of the united states issues a memorandum to 101 attorneys' offices around the country saying set up this line they can report on. 16 days later, chuck, the fbi sen

it's oleg deripaska whose name comes up all the time. who was the guy?r steele was workingof for? that is the lay of the landhere here. that is why matt and i havee an sent this letter. we're going to send this letter to get more answers. 20 and what was this? this guy worked 20 some yearsth at the fbi. this mcgonagle. so we want to know everything that's going on here because t this patternhat we'v that we'vew seen and the political nature that exists based on what base told us and based on what we have seen has to end. >> what do yout we hav discover? one of the whistleblowers saying, matt gaetz and whatikel will the american people likely learn in these hearings? >> well, there's these two critl vectors that we're investigating on the judiciary committee. first, the extent to which our national security apparatus is corrupted by politics hereatw at home, that's wherheelowers the whistleblowers have talked abouve talket really degrading a that would otherwise implicatets the biden family. but this storying thanot is brg now, that is huge shows us that
