| Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson. |
A research firm tied to a dossier of salacious allegations involving President Donald Trump is turning over thousands of pages of documents to a congressional committee.
That’s according to a person familiar with the situation, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the arrangement had not yet been publicly announced.
The firm, Fusion GPS, was turning over records Wednesday in response to a request from the Senate Judiciary Committee. The panel is one of several investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
The firm hired a British intelligence officer who compiled a dossier of allegations involving Trump and his ties to Russia.
The committee also plans to hear privately from Glenn Simpson, a co-founder of the firm.
Well this is interesting.
Ever since Bill Browder accused Fusion GPS of working with the Russians to overturn the Magnitsky Act the Republicans have been working to make that connection.
According to Fusion they have nothing to hide.
However if indeed these documents contain information about the dossier, including the sources, this could open an entirely different can of worms.Statement from Fusion GPS, which produced the Steele dossier, re: accusations it was hired by Russians: http://pic.twitter.com/8UKoz7l21s— Natasha Bertrand (@NatashaBertrand) July 27, 2017
In the meantime the Right Wing media is going after Fusion GPS like rabid wolves, which leads me to believe they are quite concerned with what might bubble to the surface.
P.S. The folks at Heavy.com have five facts about Fusion GPS that you might find interesting.
