The primary subsource for the infamous anti-Donald Trump “Steele dossier” was paid by the FBI for years and said in an email that he was working on a project “against Trump,” according to a new filing from special counsel John Durham’s team.

Igor Danchenko was made a paid FBI confidential informant in March 2017, prosecutors with Durham’s team said in a court document unsealed on Sept. 13.
