YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNewly declassified CIA documents reveal that the Steele Dossier — long dismissed as irrelevant — was in fact a key part of the intelligence community's assessment claiming Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump.
In this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, Maggie Miller sits down with RealClear Investigations journalist Paul Sperry, the lead investigator behind the story, to unpack what this means for the broader Russiagate narrative — and the officials who may have misled Congress.
Paul explains how the dossier permeated the intelligence community despite objections from CIA analysts, how former top officials gave sworn testimony now contradicted by internal records, and why this report further undermines the idea that the Trump-Russia probe was an unbiased investigation.
Sperry’s full report can be found on RealClearInvestigations.com.
