ALEXANDRIA, Va.—An FBI supervisory agent and former bureau analyst both say they were prevented from opening an investigation into a longtime Democratic operative’s relationships with Russians and key players in assembling the anti-Donald Trump dossier authored by former British spy Christopher Steele.

FBI special agent Amy Anderson and former FBI counterintelligence expert Brittany Hertzog wanted to probe Charles Dolan, a longtime Clinton family associate who did business for years with top Russian officials and also provided information to Igor Danchenko, a key source for Steele’s dossier.
