Ex-FBI official raises specter missing intel file under Trump was handed to Russia
During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday afternoon, a former assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI suggested there is a real possibility that a Russian intelligence file that went missing near the end of Donald Trump's presidency could have ended up in Russian hands.
Speaking with host Alex Witt, a clearly distressed Frank Figliuzzi admitted he wants to know how exactly the Department of Justice is handling the investigation into the missing ten-inch binder that contained raw intelligence reports compiled by U.S and foreign intelligence members.
Figliuzzi noted that both White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson and Donald Trump have both pointed the finger at former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, with the ex-FBI official suggesting a warrant needs to be approved to search Meadows' home.

"What is the special counsel doing about this?" He proposed to the MSNBC host. "What is DOJ do about this missing binder? And the evidence is that it appears the former chief of staff has it."
"Should be we looking, for example, at a search warrant of Meadows? Is this a part of Jack Smith's investigation? Have they rolled this into that or opened a new case or grand jury on Meadows?" he continued.

'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," he concluded.
