Trump Pardon of Mark T. Rossini Hides FBI’s Russian TiesJanuary 15, 2026, President Donald Trump granted a full and unconditional pardon to former FBI agent Mark T. Rossini, as documented by the U.S. Department of Justice. Rossini was a co-defendant in a bribery and corruption case involving former Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced and billionaire banker Julio Herrera Velutini.On
The pardon has drawn significant scrutiny due to Rossini’s alleged ties to sanctioned Russian networks:
Russian Oligarch Connections: Critics and investigators highlight Rossini’s work for an obscure security firm that reportedly provided services to sanctioned Russian oligarchs like Oleg Deripaska and Dmitry Rybolovlev.
Charles McGonigal Tie: Rossini was a business partner of former FBI counterintelligence chief Charles McGonigal, who was recently imprisoned for taking money from Deripaska while still at the Bureau.
“Graymail” Allegations: During his trial, Rossini’s defense team—which included Trump’s own personal attorneys—invoked the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA). Analysts suggest this was a legal maneuver (“graymail”) to threaten the exposure of national security secrets unless charges were dropped or pardons issued.
Financial Influence: The pardon followed approximately $3.5 million in donations from co-defendant Julio Herrera Velutini’s family to pro-Trump Super PACs between late 2024 and mid-2025.
By granting clemency, the White House effectively sealed classified records that might have detailed the secret services provided by former U.S. intelligence officials to Russian networks, permanently placing them beyond judicial reach.— Michael Novakhov (@mikenov) Feb 14, 2026
