Former role:
British spy behind the dossier alleging ties between Trump’s campaign and Russia.

"Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news ‘leak’ into the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany?"
— Donald Trump tweeting on Steele’s dossier, January 11, 2017
Key dates:
December 2016: a synopsis of the dossier is delivered to President Obama and President-elect Donald Trump.
January 10, 2017: BuzzFeed publishes Steele’s unverified dossier. The dossier includes the now-infamous suggestion that the Kremlin owns a tape of Trump getting urinated on by Russian prostitutes.
October 24, 2017: The Washington Post reports that the "the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research that resulted in a now-famous dossier." In response to the revelations, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweets, “The real Russia scandal? Clinton campaign paid for the fake Russia dossier, then lied about it & covered it up."
