Former FBI analyst Daniel Jones' testimony, released in a D.C. Superior Court civil case, recounts in painstaking detail how he formed the group The Democracy Integrity Project in early 2017, raised money for it and continued a private investigation into alleged Russian and other interference in the 2016 election.
Jones acknowledged in his testimony that he worked post-election with some of the key figures tied to Hillary Clinton's campaign and its now discredited Russia collusion allegations, including recently indicted former campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann and investigative researcher Glenn Simpson.
Pdf But Steele wasn't the only figure tied to the Clinton campaign's earlier Russia collusion operation that engaged with TDIP. Jones testified that Simpson helped him raise money for his non-profit TDIP and Jones then hired Simpson's Fusion GPS firm to investigate election issues starting in early 2017.
Just the News first revealed earlier this month that Jones had been tasked by the Senate Armed Services Committee in 2017 to prepare a 600-plus-page report on the Alfa Bank-Trump allegations.
In his testimony, Jones revealed the Democratic staffer who tasked him with the work indicated Democrats in Congress did not believe the FBI and others in U.S. intelligence had aggressively enough investigated the Alfa Bank allegations before dismissing them.
Reacting to the Just the News report earlier this month, a whistleblower group known as Empower Oversight filed a complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee asking that it investigate whether senators violated the chamber's gift ban by tasking and accepting a detailed report from Jones' group without paying for it.
While most federal agencies have strongly dismissed the Alfa Bank server theory, Jones said he still believes the information he provided the Senate in his final report in October 2018 is true and accurate.
