Charles McGonigal, who admitted to a money laundering scheme involving Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, requests more time in the Washington, D.C., case.
McGonigal was also slapped earlier this year with a nine-count indictment in the District of Columbia for allegedly requesting and concealing at least $225,000 in cash he allegedly received from a former Albanian intelligence official while working for the FBI and misleading the bureau about his travels abroad to meet with foreign nationals.

In an order submitted in Washington, D.C., federal court Monday, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly put off McGonigal's status hearing originally scheduled for Wednesday until Sept. 22.
McGonigal's attorneys had asked the court in a Sept. 8 motion for a roughly weeklong delay "to provide the parties additional time to negotiate a potential resolution of this case in advance of the next status conference." Defense counsel agreed to have the time between Sept. 13-21 be excluded from the calculation of when a delay could violate his right to a speedy trial so that an agreement could be reached, adding that prosecutors were not opposed to the delay.
