TRIAL: Igor Danchenko not guilty on all counts

Published

Jury acquits the Steele dossier source

On Tuesday, a jury found— the primary sub-source of the anti-Trump dossier—Igor Danchenko, not guilty on all four counts of making false statements to the FBI.

The charges against the Russian national were brought by Special Counsel John Durham.

Durham is investigating the origins of the FBI’s original Trump-Russia investigation, which included the now debunked Russian dossier.

This is the second trial from Durham’s years-long investigation.

The Danchenko trial is also the second time a jury delivered an acquittal.

It served as the basis for a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant and renewals against Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

The Justice Department admitted in 2020 that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant against Trump campaign aide Carter Page was an effort to surveil Page

The DOJ also said that when stripped of the FBI’s misinformation, the warrant did not meet the necessary legal threshold and never should have been issued.

Opposition research firm Fusion GPS commissioned the dossier which was paid for by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign along with the Democratic National Committee via the law firm Perkins Coie.

During the trial, it was revealed that the FBI had paid Danchenko more than $200,000 to serve as a confidential human source for the bureau.

Governor Ron DeSantis to appoint Ashley Moody to U.S. Senate

Florida’s Attorney General to replace Marco Rubio following his expected confirmation as Secretary of State

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced Thursday his decision to appoint state Attorney General Ashley Moody to the U.S. Senate, pending Senator Marco Rubio’s expected confirmation as President-elect Donald Trump’s Secretary of State. Rubio, a two-term senator, is widely anticipated to step down after Trump’s inauguration, making way for Moody’s appointment.

Moody, who has served as Florida’s attorney general since 2019, has been a key political ally of DeSantis, often collaborating on high-profile legal challenges and conservative policy initiatives.

Her alignment with DeSantis on issues such as law enforcement support, immigration enforcement, and state autonomy has solidified her as a prominent figure in Florida’s political landscape.

DeSantis praised Moody’s qualifications and commitment to public service, stating she would bring a “principled, conservative voice” to Washington, D.C. Moody’s appointment would mark a continuation of the state’s GOP leadership in the Senate, reinforcing the Republican majority ahead of Trump’s administration taking office.

Rubio’s departure comes as Trump assembles a Cabinet filled with loyalists and prominent conservatives. His selection as Secretary of State underscores Trump’s focus on experienced political figures in key diplomatic roles.

Moody’s appointment to the Senate, if confirmed, would likely shape legislative debates on issues ranging from judicial reform to national security.
