Barr reviewing Steele dossier's allegations

The public may soon learn more about the veracity of the Steele dossier, a former British spy’s raw intelligence document that outlined dramatic allegations of coordination between Russia and Donald Trump.

Attorney General Bill Barr on Wednesday told lawmakers that he and a team at the Justice Department are re-examining the 35-page document to determine whether its allegations were part of a Russian disinformation campaign — indicating that investigators might finally shed light on some of the more salacious accusations that rocked the early days of Trump’s presidency. Special counsel Robert Mueller’s report only briefly referenced the dossier and avoided any mention of whether the FBI had been able to verify its more explosive claims.

“Can we state with confidence that the Steele dossier was not part of the Russian disinformation campaign?” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) asked Barr on Wednesday.

“No,” Barr replied. “That is one of the areas that I am reviewing. I’m concerned about it. And I don’t think it's entirely speculative.”

OTOH, Cohen insisted he had never gone to Prague, as the Dossier said.
