President Donald Trump said the FBI or Justice Department should release information on who paid for the dossier from opposition research company Fusion GPS, which spread unverified claims during the elections that Russia had compromising information on Trump.
The dossier was circulated among news outlets and government agencies during the 2016 presidential race, and was made public by BuzzFeed on Jan. 10. It played a significant role in framing the Trump-Russia narrative still being pursued by many government officials and mainstream news outlets.
