when the u.s. intelligence committee released its report the u.s. intelligence agency said it, too russia s goals were to undermine faith in the democratic process, to denigrate secretary clinton and to harm her electability and her potential presidency. the dossier, the christopher steel dossier, it alleged there were repeated contacts between members of the trump campaign and russia officials before the election. the trump administration denied that aggressively for months but we know that to be true. the dossier mentioned a meeting between trump foreign policy adviser carter page and a senior russian official in july of last year. this week the trump campaign admitted it happened but that the trip was sanctioned by the campaign at the time. last night we reported on this senior russian diplomat, mikail kalugin who was working at the russian embassy in washington,
the dossier, the christopher steel dossier, it alleged there were repeated contacts between members of the trump campaign and russia officials before the election. the trump administration denied that aggressively for months but we know that to be true. the dossier mentioned a meeting between trump foreign policy adviser carter page and a senior russian official in july of last year. this week the trump campaign admitted it happened but that the trip was sanctioned by the campaign at the time. last night we reported on this senior russian diplomat, mikail kalugin who was working at the russian embassy in washington, d.c. he s accused of being the pay master who handled the money side of russia s efforts to hack the election. the dossier reports that in august he was withdrawn back to moscow after he became the target of u.s. suspicion. well, in fact, that diplomat really did get called home to moscow and now we know, based on reporting from mcclatchy, that when he did get recalled to m
russian embassy in washington, d.c. he s accused of being the pay master who handled the money side of russia s efforts to hack the election. the dossier reports that in august he was withdrawn back to moscow after he became the target of u.s. suspicion. well, in fact, that diplomat really did get called home to moscow and now we know, based on reporting from mcclatchy, that when he did get recalled to moscow, he was under suspicion by u.s. authorities for his potential role in the russian attack on the election. so this crazy-sounding dossier keeps coming back. now after two months spent underground its author, christopher steele, is back. last night on this show the top democrat on house intelligence made news. he said he was determined his intelligence committee should talk to christopher steele, should talk to the man who compiled this dossier. we ll have more on that in a second. but you know admittedly, right, some of this, the consequence is done, right? admittedly it s done.
