Russia-Gate: Key Documentary Records
The October 2025 correspondence above concerns subjects that are now documented across a broader body of sworn affidavits, FBI and HHS-OIG records, federal litigation, University of Michigan records, and later FOIA productions.
The selected materials below trace that chronology from the 2018 sworn account through the later federal disclosures.
September 2018 Affidavit Concerning Russia-Gate-Related Statements Attributed to Dr. Paul Cronin
In September 2018, Dr. Bradley Foerster filed a sworn affidavit in federal court concerning Russia-Gate-related statements attributed to Dr. Paul Cronin. The affidavit followed the 2018 FBI and HHS-OIG interview activity and was later refiled as Exhibit B in the litigated FBI FOIA appeal concerning the acknowledged Russia-Gate-related FBI file.
FBI Interview of Dr. Paul Cronin — March 7, 2018
The FBI and HHS-OIG interviewed Dr. Paul Cronin at the University of Michigan on March 7, 2018. Drs. Foerster and Myria Petrou had previously identified Dr. Cronin to the FBI as the source of the Russia-Gate-related statements. The interview report, however, does not reflect questioning of Dr. Cronin about those allegations.
DOJ Confirms a 500+ Page FBI File
In March 2026, a Joint Status Report filed in Dr. Foerster’s federal FOIA litigation confirmed that the FBI had identified more than 500 pages of potentially responsive records, together with related audio materials, associated with the matter identified under his name.
