The House Intelligence Committee is searching new evidence in its investigation into Fusion GPS and whether the research firm behind the infamous “Trump dossier” used the sometimes-inaccurate document to plant negative stories about President Donald Trump in the media.
According to unsealed court documents, Fusion GPS made payments to three different journalists between June 2016 and February 2017, all of whom reported on “Russia issues relevant to [the committee’s] investigation.”
The names, amounts of money paid, and purpose of payments were either redacted or not disclosed in the documents. Fusion has requested a restraining order to prevent the House Intel Committee from seizing records that would explain the payments, saying that the payments made to reporters were not relevant to Trump or the Russia probe.
