CBS: The Russian who collected the dossier on Trump did not confess to the FBI's lie with the Russian Federation, Russian analyst Igor Danchenko refused to plead guilty to the charges brought against him. The fact that the Russian who was collecting the dossier on Trump did not confess to the FBI officers was reported by CBS News.
The preliminary date for the trial of 43-year-old Danchenko is set for April 18, 2022. He was released on bail of 100 thousand dollars, and until the trial he will remain at large.
On November 4, it became known that Danchenko, who took part in the investigation of the alleged ties of former US President Donald Trump with Russia, was arrested on the American territory. The Russian was charged with perjury to the FBI. According to the US Department of Justice, in the period from June to November 2017, a Russian analyst reported incorrect information to the FBI five times, clarifying information about the sources of the data transferred to him.
In October 2020, The Wall Street Journal reported that the source for accusations against Trump about collusion with Moscow, a Russian official turned out to be. The media wrote that we are talking about a native of Perm, Olga Galkina, who in the past held the post of vice mayor of Saratov and head of the press service of the governor of the Saratov region. Galkina herself called this information untrue.
The main source of the dossier, according to the American media, was a native of the USSR, analyst Igor Danchenko. According to The Wall Street Journal, it was him who Galkina provided information when she worked in Cyprus in 2016.
In April 2019, US Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller published a report on Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election, which he won Donald Trump. The document claimed that Moscow did interfere in the American electoral process, but the existing suspicions about the connection between the Russian side and Trump could not be confirmed.
