Stefan Halper, the FBI informer who spied on the campaign on then-candidate Donald Trump, received more than a million dollars from a Defense Department think tank.
Halper received five payments, government records show. The first one in 2012, for about $198,000, was for a research contract with the Office of Net Assessment—a strategy think tank that falls directly under the Defense Secretary. The nature of the research is not clear. Much of the think tank’s research never gets released publicly.
