MORE: Confronting his critics, Christopher Steele defends controversial dossier in first major interview
"There's always a debate on every project that we take on," said Steele."Some of them are clear-cut, fairly standard projects which don't require a great deal of debate. Others, we decide, are beyond the pale because of the nature of the client. This was in the middle." Steele had previously probed Russian interference in various European elections as part of an investigation called Project Charlemagne.
Steele transmitted his first report to Simpson via FedEx on June 24, 2016 -- his 52nd birthday. Despite warnings from his wife and his business partner to omit it, he opted to include the most salacious claim from the collector -- an allegation that the Russians had obtained a compromising video of Trump at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Moscow in 2013, later colloquially referred to as the"pee tape."In this photo taken on Feb.
"One was to try and run it down on a future collection visit, if you like," he said."And the second was, we immediately decided that we had to report it into the FBI."In early July 2016, according to Steele, he called Mike Gaeta, an FBI agent stationed in Rome and Steele's long-time"interlocutor" with the American law enforcement agency. Steele said he had important information to share and invited Gaeta to his London office.
"The records show that the reporting that we then passed to [Gaeta] sat in a cupboard ... for a long time before it actually got to where it needed to reach, which was the Crossfire Hurricane team," Steele said. Steele said his frustration with the FBI grew in October 2016 after he saw then-FBI Director James Comey announce the agency was reopening its investigation into whether Hillary Clinton had exposed classified emails on a private server.
The dossier was quickly becoming Washington's worst kept secret. Then, on January 10, the news broke.
