Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate in the 2016 campaign, has now fully complied with congressional investigators scrutinizing Kremlin efforts to meddle in that race, her spokesman told The Daily Beast.

The cooperation is a change in posture for Stein, who in late 2017 and early 2018 protested Senate intelligence committee requests for documents related to her campaign. In the months after that request was made, Stein’s legal team wrote that she would voluntarily provide some of the requested documents. But her lawyers objected to queries about communications with Russians, insisting that the request suffered “from substantial defects, from using vague and ambiguously defined language in certain material respects to being so overbroad in reach as to demand constitutionally protected materials.”

Those objections appear to have been overcome. New legal filings show Stein’s campaign has paid the lawyers handling her Russia-inquiry matters as recently as last December. Stein’s spokesman, David Cobb, said that the campaign had “fully cooperated with the Senate inquiry.” And a source familiar with the Senate probe told The Daily Beast that Stein ultimately satisfied investigators with her participation in the probe.

To date, Stein’s campaign committee has paid the firm handling her legal exposure on the Russia inquiry—a nonprofit called the “Partnership for Civil Justice” (PFCJ)—tens of thousands of dollars for its work. At the end of May 2018, FEC filings showed her committee had paid PFCJ more than $66,000 on top of a $31,536 payment it had made in January. The Jill Stein for President committee—which raised money, in part, on promises to finance recount challenges of the 2016 election results—submitted its year-end filing to the FEC on Wednesday. It showed another $11,232 payment to the nonprofit group.
