Reports indicate that the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign funds paid for research on Trump. The research led to a dossier that claims he interfered in the 2016 Elections.
The dossier claims that Trump had a relationship with Russia. The dossier strengthened claims that he was involved in election tampering with Russia.
Fusion GPS was used by Clinton and the DNC under direction of their lawyer. Marc E. Elias is the lawyer who chose the Washington firm to investigate.
It was said that a Republican had originally used the same firm to research Trump. Elias and his law firm then took over.
Trump Response
Trump tweeted that the FBI and DOJ should release who paid for the research.
Since then it has been announced that Clinton and the DNC paid for it. A spokeswoman for the DNC issued a statement.
She said “Chairman Tom Perez and the new leadership of the DNC were not involved in any decision-making regarding Fusion GPS. Nor were they aware that Perkins Coie was working with the organization. But let’s be clear, there is a serious federal investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, and the American public deserves to know what happened.”
The President denied the claims of the dossier. He said that he is the victim in this matter.
Trump tweeted “Clinton campaign & DNC paid for research that led to the anti-Trump Fake News Dossier. The victim here is the President.” @FoxNews.
