The “PR Executive-1” in special counsel John Durham’s indictment against Christopher Steele source Igor Danchenko has been identified as a longtime Clinton adviser and possible originator of false dossier claims.

Danchenko, a Russian-born lawyer in the United States, was charged on Thursday “with five counts of making false statements to the FBI” that Durham claims he made about the information he provided to Steele for his “Company Reports,” which became the Steele dossier.
