Fusion GPS Book Shows Firm ‘Retaliated Against Me’ After Clinton’s Funding Uncovered: Nunes
The co-founders of Fusion GPS revealed in a soon-to-be-released book that they took action against Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the ranking member and former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, after he revealed the firm was paid by then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton through a law firm.
“They actively obstructed justice by disrupting multiple congressional investigations and retaliated against me for revealing that the Steele dossier was funded by the Democrats,” Nunes said in a statement obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch, the Fusion GPS co-founders, wrote “Crime in Progress.” They have been appearing on and in media to promote the book, with little fallout from the infamous Steele dossier the firm helped create and promote.
The men wrote in the book that they performed opposition research against Nunes in 2018 as he ran for re-election and expressed frustration that Nunes was able to get the firm’s bank records the year prior, revealing the law firm for the Democratic National Committee and Clinton’s campaign paid Fusion GPS more than $1 million for the investigation into President Donald Trump, Clinton’s opponent in 2016.
Simpson and Fritsch wrote that Fusion “ordinarily didn’t work on congressional races” but decided to investigate Nunes because they felt he was “a threat to [former special counsel Robert] Mueller’s ability to do his job,” the Daily Caller reported.
“Fusion had no illusions about being able to topple Nunes, but the notion of digging into his record made many at the firm salivate.”
