A former British spy forced into hiding after compiling an unproven dossier of damaging allegations about Donald Trump has returned to work.

Ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele, 52, said he was "really pleased" to be back, adding: "I'd like to say a warm thank you to everyone who sent me kind messages and support over the last few weeks."

Mr Steele, director of London-based Orbis Business Intelligence, was named as having authored a report published in January that claimed the Russian government had compromising material on the US President.

It included claims that President Trump's team had had multiple contacts with Russian officials during the election campaign, including discussions on hacking prominent Democrats.

2. So what happened that he now feels it's safe to come out of hiding?

3. That's not a good idea.
