A Hillary Clinton
campaign lawyer who launched what would become known as the anti-Trump
'dirty dossier' denied involvement in the project for a year as
reporters pressed him for information.
Marc
Elias brokered a deal between the Clinton camp, the Democratic National
Committee and opposition research firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on the
president while he was running for office.
But a pair of New York Times reporters said Tuesday night on Twitter that Elias and others involved had lied about their ties to the arrangement.
'Folks
involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a
year,' Times reporter Maggie Haberman tweeted after The Washington Post
linked the dossier to Elias and his law firm Perkins Coie.
Kennth
Vogel, another Times journalist, tweeted: 'When I tried to report this
story, Clinton campaign lawyer @marceelias pushed back vigorously,
saying "You (or your sources) are wrong".'
