Nunes expands dossier probe to find out what Obama knew

Rep. Devin Nunes is trying to determine the breadth and reach of the unverified Russia-Trump dossier inside the U.S. government, especially among senior leaders in the Barack Obama administration during the 2016 election.

The California Republican is asking 10 questions to gauge who received the dossier information and what they did with it.

The dossier, funded by Hilary Clinton Campaign and the Democratic Party and written by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, was circulated by pay master Fusion GPS during the 2016 campaign.

"Was President Obama briefed on any information contained in the dossier prior to Jan. 5, 2017.".

Then-FBI Director James Comey personally briefed Mr. Trump on the dossier on Jan. 6.

The FBI cited the dossier to federal judges while at the same time saying it remained unverified.

Based on his denial, the FBI used the story as collaboration for the dossier in wiretap warrant applications-four times over nearly a year.
