CNN —Former President Donald Trump is suing retired British intelligence officer Christopher Steele over the controversial dossier he compiled which shook Washington with its unverified and salacious allegations about Trump.
Multiple US government inquiries uncovered dozens of contacts between Trump campaign associates and Russians, which have since been acknowledged.
The money trail behind the Steele dossier has also been a subject of intense political scrutiny for years.
About one year after the 2016 election, it became public that Steele was indirectly paid by Democrats to research Trump.
Steele has faced a series of civil lawsuits in the US and UK stemming from the dossier.
