The Federal Bureau of Investigation “admonished” former British spy Christopher Steele eight months before using his anti-Trump opposition research dossier to apply for a warrant to spy on former Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page, according to documents released by the agency on Aug. 3.

The admonishment shows the FBI had a working relationship with Steele far earlier in the 2016 presidential campaign than was previously disclosed.
