breaking911--2020-05-07--READ: Transcripts Of Closed-Door Interviews From Russia Probe Released

Washington , DC – Today , the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is making available to the public 57 transcripts , as well as additional material , from the Committee ’ s investigation in 2017 and 2018 into Russia ’ s interference campaign targeting the 2016 U.S. election .
Accompanying today ’ s release , the Committee has sent a letter informing Acting Director of National Intelligence ( DNI ) Richard Grenell that the Committee is releasing the transcripts with the redactions applied by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence ( ODNI ) .
“ From 2017 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conducted an investigation into Russia ’ s interference in the 2016 election .
Despite the many barriers put in our way by the then-Republican Majority , and attempts by some key witnesses to lie to us and obstruct our investigation , the transcripts that we are releasing today show precisely what Special Counsel Robert Mueller also revealed : That the Trump campaign , and Donald Trump himself , invited illicit Russian help , made full use of that help , and then lied and obstructed the investigations in order to cover up this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s misconduct did not end with his election in 2016 or his attempts to cover up that effort .
Rather , in the course of his presidency , he continued to seek illicit foreign help in his campaign by coercing another nation , Ukraine , to smear his opponent .
After making use of Russia ’ s help with his first presidential campaign , President Trump pressed the Ukrainian president to help him in 2020 by withholding critical military aid to that country and a coveted head of state meeting .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s impeachment in the House of Representatives and the first bipartisan vote in the Senate in our history in support of a conviction of a President of the United States .
The President ’ s efforts to make use of the help of a foreign power to win an election , and then to extort yet another foreign power to try to win again , represent a grave threat to the health of our democracy now and in the future .
“ The transcripts released today richly detail evidence of the Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make use of , and cover up Russia ’ s help in the 2016 presidential election .
Special Counsel Robert Mueller identified in his report similar , and even more extensive , evidence of improper links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government .
A bipartisan Senate investigation also found that Russia sought to help the candidacy of Donald Trump in 2016 .
“ While Special Counsel Mueller found insufficient evidence to prove the crime of criminal conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt , he refused to draw any conclusion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to false representations made by Attorney General Bill Barr and others .
There is ample evidence of the corrupt interactions between the Trump campaign and Russia , both direct and circumstantial , in the record : • In June of 2016 , a Russian delegation offered dirt on Donald Trump ’ s rival—presidential candidate Hillary Clinton—to the highest levels of the Trump campaign , and did so in writing .
Donald Trump ’ s son , Donald Trump Jr. , accepted that offer , and then set up a secret meeting between the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chairman Paul Manafort , and Donald Trump ’ s son-in-law , Jared Kushner , to discuss that illicit help .
When news of the meeting was about to break , Trump and his son drafted a false statement for the press together in order to cover up the true purpose of the meeting .
This written offer of illegal help by the Russians and its acceptance by the President ’ s campaign , and the secret meeting that followed , provide some of the most damning and direct evidence of the President ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s assistance in the election .
• Throughout the summer of 2016 , the Trump campaign and candidate Trump himself repeatedly sought damaging information on Clinton from Russia .
In July of 2016 , Trump publicly called on Russia to hack Clinton ’ s emails , and – as the Special Counsel found – that night , Russian military intelligence officers did precisely that .
Our transcripts show that numerous individuals affiliated with or working for the Trump campaign were in communication with individuals offering help to set up private backchannels with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to hide and cover up illicit activity related to Russia during the presidential campaign .
One-time campaign advisor and close confidant to Trump , Roger Stone , has been sentenced to prison for lying to the Committee about his advanced knowledge of impending WikiLeaks releases of Clinton campaign information .
Former personal attorney to Trump , Michael Cohen , was imprisoned in part on charges that he lied to the Committee about Trump ’ s role in arranging a lucrative business deal in Russia during the course of his campaign and early presidency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump Tower Moscow — potentially the most lucrative deal of his life — while lying to the American people about his business interests in Russia , provided the most serious counterintelligence risk to the United States .
• Another associate of Trump , Erik Prince , misled our Committee about his efforts to take part in a secret backchannel with a senior Russian government official while he was unofficially supporting the Trump campaign .
• And the transcripts also show that during the transition period in late 2016 , the incoming National Security @ @ @ @ @ @ @ U.S. sanctions on Russia imposed by the previous administration over Russia ’ s interference in the election on Trump ’ s behalf .
Flynn would later lie to the FBI about these efforts , and the President would try to pressure then-FBI Director Comey to shut down any investigation into Flynn .
It would take the firing of then Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the later appointment of an unscrupulous Attorney General , Bill Barr , for the President to achieve his aim of seeking dismissal of the case against Flynn , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the FBI .
“ Despite taking part in this investigation and hearing these facts first-hand , the transcripts reveal how House Republicans used witness interviews not to gain the facts , but to press President Trump ’ s false narrative of ‘ no collusion , no obstruction.
’ It would be a pattern they would follow throughout the Russia investigation and into the President ’ s subsequent Ukraine misconduct .
To that end , House Republicans sought to use the Committee ’ s Russia investigation to undermine the Intelligence Community ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clinton and help Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election .
That assessment has been affirmed by this Committee ’ s Democrats , the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee , and Special Counsel Mueller .
“ These transcripts should have been released long before now , but the White House held up their release to the public by refusing to allow the Intelligence Community to make redactions on the basis of classified information , rather than White House political interests .
Only now , and during a deadly pandemic , has the President released @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evidence .
“ Like the Ukraine investigation that would follow it , the investigation into the Trump campaign ’ s effort to seek and utilize Russian help in 2016 and to obstruct justice , reveal a President who believes that he is above the law .
But we are a country where the truth still matters and where right still matters .
Our investigation into the Trump campaign , and the evidence we uncovered despite formidable obstruction , affirms that .

OMAHA , Neb .
– Between March 2015 and September 2018 , the DEA Omaha Division office in cooperation with the Douglas and Sarpy County Sheriff ’ s Offices , Omaha Police Department and U.S. Attorney ’ s Office for the District of Nebraska , conducted a complex , multi-jurisdictional investigation into a methamphetamine distribution organization with direct links to Sinaloa , Mexico ; Phoenix , Arizona ; Minneapolis , Minnesota ; Sioux City , Iowa ; Little Rock , Arkansas and Wichita , Kansas .
Operation Boyztown , ended with the arrest and conviction of Jorge Navarrete who received @ @ @ @ @ @ @ methamphetamine and money laundering in 2019 .
Navarette became the first person since 2006 to receive a life sentence in Nebraska for a federal drug crime prosecuted by the District of Nebraska , U.S. Attorney ’ s Office .
Operation Boyztown involved one wiretap and could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of multiple law enforcement agencies .
As a result of the investigation , agents seized approximately eight pounds of methamphetamine , three firearms , cocaine , drug ledgers , financial receipts and more than $ 10,000 .
Navarette , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brokered methamphetamine transactions between Mexico-based cartel operatives and local drug traffickers in Omaha , Iowa and Minnesota .
Co-defendants in the case testified that Navarette employed drivers who made at least six trips from Arizona to Omaha , transporting no less than eight to 12 pounds of methamphetamine .
At his sentencing hearing , Navarette was found responsible for distributing at least 48 pounds of methamphetamine .
In addition to the life sentence for distribution of methamphetamine , Navarrete was found guilty of money laundering and two counts of conspiracy to launder money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then chief Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska , imposed concurrent sentences of 20 years of imprisonment for the money-laundering offenses .
“ Cases such as this underscore the urgent need to control our international border with Mexico and the need to remove criminal aliens from the United States , ” Omaha Division Special Agent in Charge Richard Salter Jr. , said .
“ Out of the 21 defendants in this investigation , 16 were Mexican nationals and/or U.S. citizens born in Mexico .
All 21 defendants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Twenty-five years ago , if you wanted to buy wholesale quantities of drugs at wholesale prices , you had to go to states along the Mexico border to get it .
Today , our country is so infiltrated with Mexican cartel operatives , that you can buy pretty much any drug in any state in the country at fairly cheap prices.
” Navarrete began serving his time in federal prison on June 15 , 2018 , and exhausted his appeals on April 8 , 2020 .

OMAHA, Neb. – Between March 2015 and September 2018, the DEA Omaha Division office in cooperation with the Douglas and Sarpy County Sheriff’s Offices, Omaha Police Department and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nebraska, conducted a complex, multi-jurisdictional investigation into a methamphetamine distribution organization with direct links to Sinaloa, Mexico; Phoenix, Arizona; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Sioux City, Iowa; Little Rock, Arkansas and Wichita, Kansas. Operation Boyztown, ended with the arrest and conviction of Jorge Navarrete who received a life sentence for conspiring to distribute methamphetamine and money laundering in 2019. Navarette became the first person since 2006 to receive a life sentence in Nebraska for a federal drug crime prosecuted by the District of Nebraska, U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Operation Boyztown involved one wiretap and could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of multiple law enforcement agencies. As a result of the investigation, agents seized approximately eight pounds of methamphetamine, three firearms, cocaine, drug ledgers, financial receipts and more than $10,000.
Navarette, a Mexican national illegally residing in Arizona, brokered methamphetamine transactions between Mexico-based cartel operatives and local drug traffickers in Omaha, Iowa and Minnesota. Co-defendants in the case testified that Navarette employed drivers who made at least six trips from Arizona to Omaha, transporting no less than eight to 12 pounds of methamphetamine. At his sentencing hearing, Navarette was found responsible for distributing at least 48 pounds of methamphetamine.
In addition to the life sentence for distribution of methamphetamine, Navarrete was found guilty of money laundering and two counts of conspiracy to launder money. The Honorable Laurie Smith Camp, then chief Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska, imposed concurrent sentences of 20 years of imprisonment for the money-laundering offenses.
“Cases such as this underscore the urgent need to control our international border with Mexico and the need to remove criminal aliens from the United States,” Omaha Division Special Agent in Charge Richard Salter Jr., said. “Out of the 21 defendants in this investigation, 16 were Mexican nationals and/or U.S. citizens born in Mexico. All 21 defendants were repeat felony-offenders and repeat drug offenders. Twenty-five years ago, if you wanted to buy wholesale quantities of drugs at wholesale prices, you had to go to states along the Mexico border to get it. Today, our country is so infiltrated with Mexican cartel operatives, that you can buy pretty much any drug in any state in the country at fairly cheap prices.”
Navarrete began serving his time in federal prison on June 15, 2018, and exhausted his appeals on April 8, 2020.

PORTLAND — A Gresham, Oregon man has been charged with illegally purchasing, importing, and offering for sale chloroquine, the active pharmaceutical ingredient in prescription drugs used to treat malaria.
Matthew Owens, 42, has been charged by criminal complaint with smuggling and the receipt in interstate commerce of misbranded drugs and the delivery thereof for pay.
“It’s unconscionable that individuals would prioritize their own greed over the health of others, particularly during a public health crisis,” said acting SAC Roberts. “Illicit distribution of narcotics put unsuspecting consumers at serious risk. HSI, and our law enforcement partners, will continue to seek and bring to justice anyone who attempts to use the current health emergency to exploit others.”
“Together, Americans are facing a public health emergency without precedent in our lifetimes. We are heartened by the countless examples of public service by front-line health workers, law enforcement, and ordinary Americans alike.

The FDA’s drug approval process is designed to ensure that patients receive safe and effective drugs,” said Special Agent in Charge Lisa L. Malinowski, FDA Office of Criminal Investigations (FDA-OCI) Los Angeles Field Office. “The FDA will not tolerate those who attempt to place the public health at risk, especially during a pandemic and we will take appropriate action to protect consumers from bad actors who take advantage of a crisis to deceive the public.”
According to court documents, on April 13, HSI contacted FDA-OCI after a package containing 122.8 grams of a white powder was intercepted at a FedEx facility in Memphis, Tennessee. The package originated in Xiaoshan, China, and was addressed to Owens’ Gresham apartment. The enclosed substance was declared as ammonium polyphosphate but was later determined to be chloroquine. An invoice included with the substance described it as a “sample” having “no commercial value,” statements commonly used by persons improperly importing items and attempting to avoid detection.
Investigators searched FDA records and found neither “Hangzhou Weishi Electronic Commerce Co Ltd,” the entity who shipped the package, nor “Matthew Owens” as having registered any drug manufacturing facilities. A search of Oregon Medical Board, Oregon Board of Pharmacy, and Oregon State Board of Nursing public databases found no records indicating that Owens was a physician, pharmacist, or registered nurse.
As the investigation continued, special agents from FDA-OCI and HSI learned that two additional shipments were sent from China to Owens’ apartment. One contained resveratrol, a chemical commonly found in dietary supplements. The second contained polyacrylamide, a chemical compound primarily used in wastewater treatment, but also as an ingredient in certain cosmetics.
On April 27, agents from HSI, FDA-OCI, FBI, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) executed a search at Owens’ apartment. They seized laptop computers, cell phones, an unopened bag of clear, empty capsules for encapsulating pharmaceuticals, a foil bag containing an unknown powder, and a material safety data sheet for polyacrylamide.

Other messages discussed the offering of chloroquine for sale as a treatment for COVID-19.
Owens made his first appearance in federal court today after having been served a summons to appear on May 8. If convicted, Owens faces a maximum sentence of 23 years in federal prison, 3 years’ supervised release, and a $500,000 fine.
A criminal complaint is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
This case was investigated by HSI and the FDA-OCI with assistance from the FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS). It is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon.
On March 27, the FDA issued a public notice warning of the dangers of using chloroquine phosphate and warning the public to be wary of anyone claiming to have a product to prevent or cure COVID-19.
