The newly declassified annex to former special counsel John Durham’s final 2023 report ties George Soros to the Russiagate scheme by placing a key grantmaking entity of the Democratic megadonor at the advent of the FBI investigation.

According to the 29-page document declassified Thursday, intelligence gathered from foreign actors indicated that a Soros associate knew the FBI would play a role in pushing the Russian collusion plotline before the bureau ever launched its Trump-Russia investigation, codenamed Crossfire Hurricane, on July 31, 2016.
