British ex-spy Christopher Steele emphasized his defense of his discredited Democratic-funded dossier while contending he was surprised his salacious Trump-Russia collusion claims ended up being divisive.

Steele appeared for a talk at the Oxford Union on Friday, following an appearance as a Russia analyst on the BBC earlier this month, as special counsel John Durham continues his criminal investigation into the origins and conduct of the Trump-Russia investigation — including an indictment of Steele’s main source.
