russia. an attorney representing the clinton campaign and the dnc retained fusion gps, washington firm to do that research. the firm hired dossier author christopher steele, a former british spy. meanwhile, just days ago, multiple leaders from fusion gps pleaded the fifth before house lawmakers when asked who financed that work. house oversight committee trey gowdy says he has more question questions. >> it is irrelevant who paid for the dossier. it's much more relevant who relied upon it pretty so my focus has always been whether or not the department of justice and the fbi relied upon in unsourced ci document to launch a counterintelligence investigation. so i want to know whether the nation's premier law enforcement agency relied on the document that looked like the "national enquirer" prepared it. >> harris: money, money, money. before clinton and the dnc kicked in that cash, the dossier was initially financed during the primaries by an unnamed g.o.p. operative.
