Prosecutors alleged Danchenko provided false information to the FBI in 2017 when the agency was trying to verify information in a dossier detailing Trump’s alleged ties to Russia that was compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele. The largely unsubstantiated dossier was used by the FBI to support its surveillance of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. Millian has denied being a source of information for the dossier. When asked by the FBI whether he had talked to Dolan for the information, Danchenko said he had not. Trump had called the dossier fake news and evidence of a political witch hunt against him.

ALEXANDRIA, Va.— Igor Danchenko , a consultant whose information comprised the bulk of the 2016 “Steele dossier,” was acquitted Tuesday of lying to the FBI, leaving special counsel John Durham with losses in both cases he took to trial as his yearslong inquiry into the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election winds down. Over four days in federal court outside Washington, D.C., Mr. Durham sought to portray Mr. Danchenko as fabricating one of his own sources and concealing another one when the FBI questioned him in 2017 about where he obtained the allegations he provided to ex-British spy Christopher Steele , who was paid by Democratic operatives to collect opposition research on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and alleged ties to the Kremlin.

The FBI offered a British ex-spy up to $1m to prove Trump's ties to Russia, per The Times of London. A senior FBI analyst revealed this during the trial of the Steele dossier's primary source — Igor Danchenko. Christopher Steele could not verify his allegations, and the money was not paid out. Danchenko, a Russian citizen, was sent by Steele to search for material on Trump, The Times said. The Mueller report contained passing references to some of the allegations in the dossier.
☆ Trump joked about having to explain the Steele dossier 'pee tape' allegations to his wife Melania

Donald Trump said it was hard to explain the infamous "pee tape" to his wife. The widely disputed Steele dossier compiled in 2016 claimed the tape existed. Trump has called the allegations "phony," and there is no evidence to suggest the tape exists. In a heavily disputed dossier compiled in 2016, former British spy Christopher Steele claimed that Russian authorities had covertly filmed Trump being urinated on by sex workers in a Moscow hotel room. He claimed, without evidence, that Russia may have kept the tape hidden because Trump offered them "pretty good value" during his time in office.

Dan Coats, former director of national intelligence, worried about Trump's relations with Putin. According to a new book, Trump's behavior at a summit with Putin sparked his concern. Trump's relationship with Russia has long been a subject of rumor and speculation. According to the authors, Trump's behavior as president raised alarm among top officials, including Dan Coats, then the DNI. Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not find sufficient evidence to substantiate claims the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia in 2016.

Ivanka Trump is a senior White House advisor, as is her husband, Jared Kushner. "They suggest Ivanka Trump and Steele stayed in touch via emails over the next several years. In one 2008 exchange they discussed dining together in New York at a restaurant just blocks from Trump Tower." "He stated that if anything he was favorably disposed toward the Trump family before he began his research because he had visited a Trump family member at Trump Tower and 'been friendly' with [the family member] for some years," according to the report, which redacted the name of the Trump relative. "He described their relationship as 'personal' and said that he once gifted a family tartan to the family member," the report said.
