On February 21, 2026, Dr. Bradley Foerster transmitted a written communication to the FBI Ann Arbor field office and Detroit FBI leadership requesting a full investigation into missing sheriff’s sale funds from their properties and the potential connection to previously reported Russia-Gate allegations attributed to statements by Dr. Paul Cronin.

This communication follows prior correspondence transmitted through the White House referral process, for which the FBI acknowledged receipt and indicated that a more detailed response was expected by January 29, 2026.
No response or update was reflected in the record as of that date.
