The dossier, which claimed the Russians had compromising information about Trump, was first circulated by Buzzfeed, but many news networks, including Fox News, have chosen not to report on the specifics of the unsubstantiated allegations. In the letter, Grassley says a prior account by Comey of the FBI’s relationship with Steele appears to differ from information in Justice Department documents later given to the committee. In particular, Grassley asked Comey to explain if the FBI was aware that Fusion GPS was allegedly working as an unregistered agent for Russian interests at the same time it was working on the dossier. Grassley has previously asked the FBI about media reports it offered to pay Steele in connection with the dossier. Comey is scheduled to testify before the committee at an FBI oversight hearing on Wednesday.
