Grassley: Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson gave ‘extremely misleading’ testimony to Senate

Chairman Chuck Grassley is accusing Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson of giving “extremely misleading” statements during August 2017 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee — and in doing so is comparing it to the false testimony that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen also gave to Congress at the same time.

In a Monday letter to Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Grassley accuses Simpson — the co-founder of political research firm Fusion GPS — of giving “extremely misleading if not outright false testimony” when he gave a closed-door deposition on Aug. 22, 2017.
