Challengers call out Nunes for getting money from someone who funded Trump dossier
Source: The Fresno Bee
Andrew Janz, the Fresno County prosecutor and Democrat challenging Rep. Devin Nunes re-election bid, has called for the Tulare Republican to once again step away from any investigation into Russias alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Janz pointed to a New York Times report that says the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website funded by billionaire Republican donor Paul Singer, informed the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that it hired research firm Fusion GPS in 2015 to investigate Donald Trump and other presidential candidates. The website said it stopped using the firm to investigate Trump after he clinched the Republican nomination.
At the end of 2015, Fusion GPS produced a document written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele commonly known as the Trump dossier or Steele dossier. The document, funded by Democratic challenger Hillary Clintons campaign and the Democratic National Committee, lists many unconfirmed ties between Trump and the Russian government.
The Free Beacon released a statement saying none of the information it paid Fusion GPS to dig up was in the dossier.
