Feinstein posts testimony of Fusion GPS co-founder

Senator Dianne Feinstein unilaterally released on Tuesday the transcript of a congressional interview with Glenn Simpson, whose research firm was behind the dossier on alleged contacts between Donald Trump’s campaign and the Russian government.

The dossier, commissioned by the firm Fusion GPS during the 2016 presidential election campaign, was compiled by a former British spy named Christopher Steele. The document makes an allegation that there was a “conspiracy of cooperation” between Russian agents and the Trump campaign, and the president has frequently scorned it.

Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the Senate judiciary committee, said she released the transcript because “the American people deserve the opportunity to see what he said and judge for themselves”.
