The primary source for the infamous Steele dossier fabricated information out of whole cloth, a group of Russian nationals is alleging.
The Russians say U.S.-based analyst Igor Danchenko falsely identified them as sources for information he passed to former British spy Christopher Steele.
Danchenko told FBI agents that Steele appeared to have embellished some of the information in the dossier.
Two of Danchenko's alleged sources, Ivan Vorontsov and Sergey Abyshev, said in their statements that they met together with Danchenko in Moscow on June 15, 2016, days before Danchenko submitted the first of 17 memos to Steele that make up the dossier.
He also said he believes Danchenko identified him as a source to Steele in order to lend credibility to his information.
Four other alleged sources for the dossier submitted affidavits denying that they provided information to Danchenko about Alfa-Bank.
Lyudmila Podobedova, a Russian journalist who covers the energy industry, asserted that Danchenko falsely identified her as a source for the dossier in order to "Add credibility to his work." Olga Galkina, a public relations specialist who has known Danchenko since childhood, said in her statement that she did not provide information to him about Alfa-Bank.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
