The co-founder of Fusion GPS, the firm behind the
unverified Trump dossier, met with a Russian lawyer before and after a
key meeting she had last year with Trump’s son, Fox News has learned.
The contacts shed new light on how closely tied the firm was to Russian
interests, at a time when it was financing research to discredit
then-candidate Donald Trump.
The opposition research firm has
faced renewed scrutiny after litigation revealed that the DNC and
Hillary Clinton’s campaign paid for that research. Congressional
Republicans have since questioned whether that politically financed
research contributed to the FBI’s investigation of Russian collusion
with the Trump campaign – making Fusion’s 2016 contacts with Russian
interests all the more relevant.
