The alleged source behind former spy Christopher Steele's infamous anti-Trump dossier has made a series of bombshell claims about the FBI's relationship with him.
Russian lawyer Igor Danchenko was on the bureau’s payroll as a confidential human source from March 2017 to October 2020 before he was charged in November 2021 by special counsel John Durham with lying about conversations he had with Hillary Clinton ally Charles Dolan and businessman Sergei Millian.
Danchenko’s team argued Monday that “such a theory would be legally unsound because Mr. Danchenko was not under a duty to disclose such information to the FBI.” An FBI agent had asked Danchenko: “But you had never talked to [Dolan] about anything that showed up in the dossier, right?” The defendant had replied, “No.” The agent followed up, “You don't think so?” Danchenko replied, “No. We talked about, you know, related issues perhaps but no, no, no, nothing specific.”
Durham pointed out that Danchenko brought a copy of the Democratic-funded dossier to an FBI meeting and said he had reviewed it, showing he knew what the FBI was interested in. The special counsel said the jury, not the judge, should decide whether the evidence shows that “he did know it was untrue.”
