The dossier's 17 unredacted reports allege that Trump campaign members and Russian operatives had conspired to co-operate in Russia's election interference to benefit Trump. The media, the intelligence communityand most experts have treated the dossier with caution due to its unverified allegations, while Trump has denounced it as fake news.
Some aspects of the dossier have been corroborated, [20] [21] in particular its steele dossier pdf download allegations that Putin and Russia actively favored Trump over Clinton [22] [15] and that many Trump campaign officials and associates had multiple secret contacts with Russians, steele dossier pdf download. Contrary to a conspiracy theory [27] [28] pushed by Trump, steele dossier steele dossier pdf download download[29] Fox News, [30] and many of Trump's congressional supporters, the dossier was not steele dossier pdf download trigger for the opening of the FBI's "Crossfire Hurricane" counterintelligence investigation into "whether individuals associated with the Donald J.
Trump for President Campaign were coordinating, wittingly or unwittingly, with the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the U. The opposition research conducted by Fusion GPS on Donald Trump was in two distinct operations, each with a different client.
The first research operation, from October to May steele dossier pdf downloadwas domestic research funded by The Washington Free Beacon. Only the second operation involved the foreign research that produced the dossier. In Octoberbefore the steele dossier pdf download start of the Republican primary campaign steele dossier pdf downloadthe founders of Fusion GPS were seeking political work and wrote an email to "a big conservative donor they knew who disliked Trump, [and] they were hired", steele dossier pdf download.
He arranged for them to use The Washington Free Beaconan American conservative political journalism website, for their general opposition research on several Republican presidential candidates, including Trump. Early in their investigation, they received help from investigative reporter Wayne Barrettwho gave them his files on Trump.
They contained findings about "Trump's past dealings, steele dossier pdf downloadincluding tax and bankruptcy problems, potential ties to organized crime, and numerous legal entanglements.

Orbis co-founder Christopher Steelea retired British MI6 officer with expertise in Russian matters, [5] was hired as a subcontractor to do the job. Orbis was hired between June and Novemberand Steele produced 16 reports during that time, with a 17th report added in December. Simpson has said that, to his knowledge, Steele did not pay any of his sources. Since payment of these sources can be seen as bribery or might encourage exaggeration, they are unpaid.

When he arrived in London on July 5,he met with Steele at his office, [65] and he was given a copy of Steele's first report, dated June 20, Report As Nuland later shared, "In the middle of July, when he [Steele] was doing this other work and became concerned, he passed two to four pages of short points of what he was finding steele steele dossier pdf download pdf download our immediate reaction to that was, 'This is not in our purview.
That's something for the FBI to investigate. In Augustthe FBI asked Steele for "all information in his possession and for him to explain how the material had been gathered and to identify his sources. At the same time, he was busy creating his own dossier of material documenting that "Russia was not only attempting to interfere in the election, they were doing so in order to elect Donald Trump During its intense questioning of Steele, the FBI mentioned their own discoveries steele dossier pdf download connections between the Trump campaign and Russia [73] and asked Steele about Papadopoulos, but he said he knew nothing about him.

In a editorial for The Washington Post[76] Winer recounted that during their meeting in Washington, he was allowed to review Steele's reports, but not to keep a copy: "I prepared a two-page summary and shared it with [Victoria] Nuland, who indicated that, like me, she felt that the secretary of state needed to be made aware of this material," he wrote.
