“Fusion GPS allegedly failed to register under the law for work it was doing to advance Russian interests by repealing sanctions against human rights violators, and it was doing this work at roughly the same time it was producing the unverified Trump dossier, which relies heavily on Russian sources,” Foy said.

"So of course it would be relevant both to the committee’s review of FARA enforcement and the dossier.”

 

There is another player now alleging that Fusion, in a case completely unrelated to Russia or the Magnitsky Act, acted in violation of FARA.

 

Thor Halvorssen, the founder of an organisation called the Human Rights Foundation, wrote in testimony submitted to the committee on Tuesday that Fusion engaged “in a multi-billion-dollar corruption case benefiting the Venezuelan regime” in 2012.

 

“In 2012 I began researching a Venezuelan corruption scandal that also involved U.S.banks, companies, and even U.S. courts,” Halvorssen wrote. “This story should have received extensive exposure on the front pages of America’s national newspapers.

Fusion GPS, however, was hired to spike these stories. Even though it was clearly acting as a public relations counsel on behalf of a foreign principal, Fusion GPS never registered under FARA and was able to engage in nefarious activities without public scrutiny.”

 

Halvorssen alleged in his testimony that he, like Browder, was the victim of a “smear” campaign by Simpson and Fusion.

He wrote that Fusion hired journalists to write blog posts claiming that he received treatment for a heroin addiction that was paid for by Peter Thiel.
