A recently released Senate Intelligence Committee report detailed the business relationship that Christopher Steele had with a Russian oligarch close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, raising further questions about the British ex-spy’s discredited dossier.

The Senate Intelligence Committee’s 1,000-page report, published last week, found that wealthy Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska “conducts influence operations, frequently in countries where he has a significant economic interest,” and “the Russian government coordinates with and directs Deripaska on many of his influence operations.” Steele and his company, Orbis Business Intelligence, were working for Deripaska in the lead-up to 2016, helping recover millions of dollars the Russian oligarch claimed former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort had stolen from him when the Republican operative worked for him.
