I was never one of them, but Christopher Steele, the ex-British spy behind the infamous Trump dossier, left me no choice. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Mr. Steele had been hired by an investigative firm called Fusion GPS to gather dirt about Donald J. Trump and Russia. The firms founders, two former Wall Street Journal reporters, made it clear they would not talk to me for a book I...

The New York Times on Sunday published an excerpt from “Spooked: The Trump Dossier, Black Cube and the Rise of Private Spies,” by former Times reporter Barry Meier.

The Ongoing Politicization of the DOJ Commentary President Joe Biden over the past few months has added to his administration multiple Obama-era officials who had direct participation in “Russiagate.” The latest addition is Susan Hennessey to the Department of Justice’s National Security Division.

HOFFMAN Recently declassified notes of an FBI meeting in 2017 with former British MI6 agent Christopher Steele and his Orbis Business Intelligence partner Christopher Burrows add to the growing mountain of evidence discrediting Mr. Steele’s infamous dossier — a virulent, self-injected virus in the U.S. political process. According to the FBI, Mr. Steele said it was Fiona Hill, senior director f...

(AP Photo/Files) The New York Times, yesterday, published a story that caught many by surprise — particularly people like me who have followed closely the DOJ investigation of the DOJ in the form of Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins and pursuit of the great Russia Hoax investigation code-named by the FBI as “Crossfire Hurricane.” The Times reported that back in February, the Brookings Institution, a long-time Washington DC fixture and think tank closely associ...
