Judicial Watch and The Daily Caller News Foundation today released 11 pages of State Department documents revealing a discussion about the use of private email to transmit potentially sensitive information from Christopher Steele, the author of the Clinton-funded, anti-Trump dossier.
Judicial Watch obtained the documents in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed on April 25, 2018, on behalf of itself and the Daily Caller News Foundation against the State Department after it failed to respond to three separate FOIA requests (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No.
All records of communications between State Department officials, including former Secretary of State John Kerry, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, on the one hand, and British National Christopher Steele and/or employees or contractors of Steele's company, Orbis Business Intelligence, on the other hand.
On February 9, 2016, a heavily redacted email exchange with the subject, "Urgent - [redacted]" begins with an email from Justin Siberell, former-Principal Deputy Coordinator of the State Department's Counterterrorism Bureau to multiple senior State Department officials including Winer.
"The Obama State Department's handling of the Steele dossier remains one of the great mysteries of the Russia probe. We still do not have all the answers about how the State Department used opposition research collected by a foreign spy regarding President Trump and his campaign. These documents, obtained through our lawsuit filed together with Judicial Watch, raises further questions about what exactly went on at Foggy Bottom," said Neil Patel, publisher and CEO of the Daily Caller News Foundation.
"No wonder Jonathan Winer, Steele's ally at the State Department, refused to talk to the DOJ IG, he seems to have circumvented the rules in pushing Steele's unreliable reports to his Obama State Department colleagues," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Recently, Judicial Watch released 146 pages of documents revealing that Steele had an extensive and close working relationship dating back to May of 2014 with high-ranking Obama State Department officials including Winer and Nuland.
