Trump’s narrative that this campaign was “infiltrated” for “political purposes” is quite the inflammatory claim and one that he has no evidence of. Trump backs his autocratic rhetoric with action The President of the United States just demanded the Justice Department investigate his political opponents in an effort to undermine the Justice Department’s Russia investigation–a probe he is a subject of I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes – and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration! If true – all time biggest political scandal! It took place very early on, and long before the phony Russia Hoax became a “hot” Fake News story. Reports are there was indeed at least one FBI representative implanted, for political purposes, into my campaign for president. All of these ended up being hot air, but nevertheless, they persisted. And there was the scandal surrounding the anti-Trump text messages from the FBI’s Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, a charge also led by Devin Nunes and other Republicans. There was this year’s dubious memo alleging FISA warrant abuses against Trump Campaign Adviser Carter Page (who was suspected of being a Russian agent), pushed by none other than Devin Nunes. There was last year’s White House-engineered “unmasking” scandal fueled by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA). President Trump, in coordination with House Republicans, has concocted numerous schemes to undermine Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation – which he is a subject of. The alleged sources for Steele’s dossier have largely either been accused of lying, have denied being sources, or have otherwise backed away from the dossier.President Donald Trump listens during a swearing-in ceremony for incoming Central Intelligence Agency director Gina Haspel at CIA Headquarters, Monday, May 21, 2018, in Langley, Va. The Justice Department and the FBI have repeatedly defended their use of information from Danchenko well after he allegedly lied to them in communications with Congress defending the Trump-Russia investigation, including amid special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.ĭanchenko has lived and worked in the Washington, D.C., area for many years and allegedly relied on a network of Russian contacts. The claim came just hours before the New York Times reported Wednesday that "people familiar with the matter" said Durham's criminal grand jury has ended and that there are no plans to revive it, meaning his investigation may be wrapping up ahead of Danchenko's October trial. WHO IS IGOR DANCHENKO, THE STEELE DOSSIER SOURCE CHARGED BY JOHN DURHAM? The special counsel has also discovered that Danchenko was investigated by the FBI in 2009 as a possible “threat to national security," according to documents declassified by then- Attorney General Bill Barr, who had made Durham special counsel in October 2020, the same month Danchenko was finally cut off as an FBI source. The special counsel said he plans on calling a witness who would undermine the unfounded “pee tape” allegations that Danchenko allegedly passed to Steele and were published in the dossier. … The defendant lied to FBI agents during several of these interviews.”Īccording to Durham, Danchenko anonymously sourced a fabricated claim about Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort to Hillary Clinton ally Chuck Dolan, who spent years, including 2016, doing work for Russian businesses and the Russian government.ĭanchenko has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The FBI terminated its source relationship with the defendant in October 2020. “In March 2017, the FBI signed the defendant up as a paid confidential human source of the FBI. “From January 2017 through October 2020, and as part of its efforts to determine the truth or falsity of specific information in the Steele reports, the FBI conducted multiple interviews of the defendant regarding, among other things, the information that he had provided to Steele,” Durham told the court Tuesday.

Special counsel John Durham included the allegation in a court filing on Tuesday accusing Igor Danchenko of collecting a check from the FBI from 2017 to 2020 despite the Russian-born lawyer being charged with five counts of making false statements tied to what he told the bureau about the dossier.ĭURHAM WANTS TO USE STEELE DOSSIER SOURCE'S WILD CLAIMS AGAINST HIM AT TRIAL The alleged source for disgraced former spy Christopher Steele's infamous anti-Trump dossier was a paid confidential human source for the FBI, a court filing has claimed.
