Steele was paid over $160,000 by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and

Hillary for America (Clinton campaign) for his dossier. Neither the initial application in

October 2016, nor any of the renewals, disclose or reference the role of the DNC, Clinton

campaign, or any party/campaign in funding Steeleโ€™s efforts, even though the political

origins of the Steele dossier were then known to senior DOJ and FBI officials.

According to the head of the FBIโ€™s counterintelligence division, Assistant Director Bill

Priestap, corroboration of the Steele dossier was in its โ€œinfancyโ€ at the time of the initial

Page FISA application. In early January 2017, Director Comey briefed President-elect

Trump on a summary of the Steele dossier, a document he later described as โ€œsalacious

and unverified.โ€
