New threat to Anglo-Trump relations as bombshell secret texts between top British and US spies about 'our strange situation' reveal how UK played KEY role in early stages of FBI's Trump-Russia inquiry
Texts between then-FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe and his counterpart in Britain's MI5, Jeremy Fleming, were brought to light by the Guardian on Tuesday
In August 2016 Fleming noted that members of the FBI and MI5 had 'met on our strange situation' - apparently referencing discussions about Russian activities
The texts were revealed as the Justice Department is examining what led up to the launch of the FBI investigation
They are believed to be paying particularly close attention to the influence of another senior UK intelligence official, 'dirty dossier' author Christopher Steele
Earlier this month the US and UK became embroiled in a full-scale diplomatic spat after British ambassador to the US Sir Kim Darroch called Trump 'inept'
They are believed to be paying particularly close attention to the influence of another senior British intelligence official, Christopher Steele.
Steele, a former senior official at the UK's foreign intelligence agency MI6, compiled the infamous 'dirty dossier' in 2017, which alleged that Moscow attempted to interfere in the 2016 US presidential election and that there was potential collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign, along with other unverified and salacious claims about the president, including that he was vulnerable to blackmail from the Russians.
The dossier was paid for ultimately by Hillary Clinton's campaign. Many of the key claims were never verified.
