Britain's recently resigned ambassador to the US vouched for the credibility of Christopher Steele - the former MI6 spy who cobbled together a Russian-sourced dossier full of fabrications about Donald Trump.
Sir Kim Darroch, who resigned after confidential memos were leaked in which he slammed President Trump and his administration, told a US official that Steele was "Absolutely" legit, according to the Sunday Telegraph.
Today The Sunday Telegraph can also disclose that Sir Kim is said to have vouched for the credibility of Christopher Steele, the author of an explosive dossier of claims about Donald Trump's ties to Russia, in conversation with at least one US official.
Steele was commissioned by Fusion GPS to produce the infamous dossier ultimately paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC during the 2016 US election.
As we noted in May, ten days before the FBI used the now-discredited dossier to apply for a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to spy on Trump campaign aide Carter Page, Steele met with Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec, who took handwritten notes of the encounter.
Notes and testimony from senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr make clear Steele admitted early on that he was "Desperate" to get Trump defeated in the election, was working in some capacity for the GOP candidate's opponent, and considered his intelligence raw and untested.
Steele left his MI6 career to found his own company, Orbis Business Intelligence, with another former spy according to the Daily Mail.
