(CNN) On Thursday, the Biden administration imposed new sanctions on Russia for its role in actively interfering in the 2016 presidential election. But what you likely missed was that, as part of the justification for the sanction, the Treasury Department released a whole trove of findings about what happened in 2016 and beyond. And, we knew that Kilimnik, who was one of 16 individuals singled out for sanction by the Biden administration on Thursday, had passed that information on to the Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs for whom he worked. What we didn't know -- until Thursday -- is that Kilimnik had also passed along that information to Russian intelligence agencies. The Treasury announcement made clear that he " provided the Russian Intelligence Services with sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy."
