Oct 16, 2018 · by Molly K. Hooper - 10/16/18 6:32 PM ET. Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson pleaded the Fifth Amendment before a House Committee on Tuesday, with his attorney accusing GOP lawmakers of ...
Glenn Simpson was working for both Natalia Veselnitskaya and Hillary Clinton at the time Simpson gave "dirt" on Clinton to Veselnitskaya which she carried into the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort.
On October 24, 2017 the Washington Post finally could no longer disguise the facts: the Steele dossier was opposition research paid for by the Clinton campaign and DNC. Christopher Steele took some of the money and paid Russians for information. The Russians were glad to take their money and tell them whatever they wanted to hear. In effect, both the Clinton campaign and the FBI paid Russia for dirt on Donald Trump. The hoax was exposed: the Clinton campaign, Obama FBI, and Democratic Party ALL colluded with Russia to meddle in an election and subvert democracy .
Simpson's firm, Fusion GPS, hired former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele to dig up negative information about the Republican candidate in 2016.
Following Simpson's testimony behind closed doors, his attorney, Josh Levy, told reporters that his firm is "proud of the work" that Steele produced and Simpson oversaw, and that he "stands by it.". Further details on what Simpson said have not been disclosed, but that may soon change.
Grassley has said he wanted to interview Simpson over Fusion GPS's ties to a law firm involved in the Magnitsky Act , a law intended to punish Russian officials for the death in prison of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky. Simpson uncovered information that contradicted the account of the case accepted by U.S. officials who enacted the law.
Blumenthal, who also intends to compel Trump Jr., Kushner and Manafort to testify, is also interested in Simpson's possible ties to those who attended the now infamous meeting —but for very different reasons to Grassley.
Two individuals who worked on behalf of the Kremlin, lobbyists Rinat Akhmetshin and Natalia Veselnitskaya, met with Trump Jr., Kushner (Trump's son-in-law and adviser) and Trump's then–campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, last June.
They should be made public," Blumenthal told MSNBC's Morning Joe. "But even more important, Glenn Simpson should testify before the committee in the open, under oath, and so should the others who should be subpoenaed to do so as well: Donald Trump Jr. and anyone involved in that meeting in early June that involved apparently Jared Kushner ...
Spouse (s) Mary Jacoby. Glenn Richard Simpson (born 1964) is an American former journalist who worked for The Wall Street Journal until 2009, and then co-founded the Washington-based research business Fusion GPS. He was also a senior fellow at the International Assessment and Strategy Center.
He is the co-author of Dirty Little Secrets: The Persistence of Corruption in American Politics written with political scientist Larry Sabato and published in 1996. A New York Times book review called the book's approach "fiercely bipartisan".
In 2017 during Congressional inquiries into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, Simpson testified before the House Intelligence Committee that Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, and Ted Malloch, a "significant figure" in the Brexit campaign, had ties to each other.
Beginning in 2016, Simpson was working with a former British intelligence operative on another project — the Trump dossier.
The only reference to Clinton in Veselnitskaya's document is part of a reference to the Ziffs. She accused them of evading Russian taxes, and suggested that some of the money they reaped from doing that ended up supporting Democrats. Businessman Bill Browder stands in Moscow's Red Square.
