FEC fines Clinton campaign, DNC; clears "Steele dossier" author of wrongdoing
The Federal Election Commission has fined Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign $8,000 and the Democratic National Committee $105,000 for obscuring their funding of the "Steele dossier," a 2016 opposition research report that sought to highlight alleged links between Donald Trump and Russia.
The bipartisan election commission also dismissed a complaint against Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier that caused a firestorm of allegations and investigations that shook the early months of Trump's presidency.
The campaign mislabeled Steele's work as "legal services" and "legal and compliance consulting" in campaign filings, the FEC concluded.
Steele and the campaign were notified of the FEC's decision Tuesday. A spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee acknowledged that it agreed to pay the FEC's fine, but said it had "settled aging and silly complaints from the 2016 election about 'purpose descriptions' in our FEC report."
The FEC's ruling was in response to a complaint filed in 2018 by the conservative advocacy group the Coolidge Reagan Foundation. Paul Kamenar, a member of the Coolidge Reagan Foundation's advisory board, called the DNC spokesperson's description "appalling" in a phone call with CBS News.
"It's outrageous that the DNC would minimize the serious violation that took place by calling campaign disclosure laws 'silly' violations," said Kamenar, who added that he believes the FEC should have made a criminal referral to the Justice Department.
Lawyers working for the Democrats in 2016 hired research firm Fusion GPS to investigate Trump, and the firm then paid Steele, a former British intelligence officer, and his company, Orbis.
Steele's report concluded, based on anonymous sources, that Russia had collected information that might compromise Trump. The dossier has been a source of controversy for years and Trump has often claimed it spurred the special counsel investigation into contacts between his campaign and Russian officials.
Lawyers for Steele lauded the ruling in a statement to CBS News.
"This ruling by the FEC underlines once again that Mr. Steele and Orbis Business Intelligence acted with complete integrity and professionalism in relation to their work on the 2016 presidential election," wrote Steele's attorneys Robert Weinberg and Joshua Shiffrin.
In 2018, the Republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee concluded that the Russia investigation was spurred by information received by the FBI related to Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos — not the Steele dossier. The FBI did, however, rely in part on information from the dossier to secure surveillance warrants in 2016 for Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

Transgender father-of-two, 47, awaiting gender reassignment surgery is sent to male prison after being exposed as predatory paedophile who targeted girls as young as six and took upskirt photo of seven-year-old
Britnee Aitken will have surgery delayed after two girls said she molested them
One of the victims, then six, said she targeted them after offering to play games
They said she poked genitals through a letter box when they knocked at her door
The 47-year-old is convicted of three charges of sexual assault, one of exposure
Sentencing Judge John Edwards told Aitken: 'I bear in mind the difficulties you may encounter in a custodial environment but this offending was sustained, predatory and very distressing for these girls.
'It has had a significant emotional impact on one of them, she being vulnerable and impressionable courtesy of her age.
'You presented as an almost avuncular figure, happy on the surface to indulge those children with games, when your true motives were more sinister.
'You crossed a very clear boundary in order to indulge your attractions. Your caution plainly displays an interest in young children.'
Aitken was also ordered to abide by a lifetime Sexual Harm Prevention Order which will bar her from 'loitering' near schools or children's play areas.

Convicted British paedophile who pretended to be a medic and offered to rescue children from Ukraine is banned from leaving the UK
Adam Wyles, 34, travelled to Poland and Ukraine to provide aid to refugees despite having previous convictions for possessing indecent images of children
A person who travelled to the countries with him said Wyles, from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, also offered to rescue children in an orphanage in Ukraine
Ipswich Crown Court heard that he also pretended to be a medical officer
A paedophile who posed as a medic in refugees camps and offered to rescue children from an orphanage in Ukraine has been banned from leaving the UK.
Adam Wyles travelled to Poland and Ukraine between March 7 and March 21 to provide aid to refugees fleeing the war, despite having previous convictions for possessing indecent images of children.
Police were told that the 34-year-old pretended to be a medical officer and had a fake air ambulance medic uniform and a false identification badge.
A person who travelled with him revealed that Wyles of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, also offered to rescue children in an orphanage in Ukraine while on his trip.
Wyles was given a community order and a give year sexual harm prevention order which restricted his contact with children in 2015 having been convicted of possessing indecent images.
He breached the order in October 2019 when he tricked a charity, Little Miracles, which supports children with disabilities into letting him drive a coach to Europe.
The charity, which knew nothing about his previous convictions, allowed him to drive their coach to the south coast and onto France and Germany before returning to the UK.
He did not have any contact with children on the trip.
Police who invested the breach found he possessed more indecent images of children on his computed, including 52 still and 25 videos in the most serious Catergory A.
He was also found to have failed to comply with his order between February and September 2019 by not informing police he had been staying with a new partner.
He was also found to have communicated with a 12-year-old girl, which resulted in him being jailed for 27 months in May 2020.
At the time of his sentencing in May 2020, Judge Katherine Moore at Norwich Crown Court ruled that he posed a 'high risk of sexual harm to children', and renewed his Sexual Harm Prevention Order for ten years.
He was also placed on the sex offenders' register for the same period of time.
The court also heard at the time that he held other previous convictions which included posing as a police officer and possessing a police uniform.
Judge Levett told Ipswich Crown Court this week: 'I reach the conclusion it is necessary and proportionate to amend the order.'
