Christopher Steele, former British intelligence agent and author of the controversial intelligence report alleging a conspiracy between President Trump and the Russian government leading up to the 2016 presidential election, knew Ivanka Trump for years prior to penning his “Steele dossier.” ABC News reports that Trump met Steele at a dinner in London in 2007; he was still working for MI6 while she was already in the family business and kind of sort of dating now-husband Jared Kushner. The two corresponded for years via email and even met at Trump Tower.
These details were revealed after the Department of Justice’s inspector general released a report Monday about the FBI’s Russia inquiry, concluding that political bias was not a factor in their investigation of Trump and Russia. The report also concluded that they did not use the Steele dossier as a launchpad into the Russia probe, claiming not to have even seen the dossier until after they already began their investigation.
And Steele bristles at the notion that his dossier—which infamously birthed the “pee tape” —would demonstrate political bias either. He told the FBI that, if anything, he was biased toward Trump due to his friendship with a Trump “family member,” who we now know to be Ivanka.
