An associate of the late Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain shared with Buzzfeed News a copy of the unverified, salacious opposition research dossier alleging that Russians had compromising material on President Trump, according to a bombshell federal court filing Wednesday. INSIDE THE TRUMP DOSSIER HANDOFFMcCain has acknowledged giving the dossier to the FBI. In November 2016, according to the filing, McCain sent Kramer, a director at the McCain Institute for International Leadership, to London to meet with Steele. Then, Kramer showed Bensinger the dossier and purportedly informed him that “some of the information was unverified." Ohr's broad circle of contacts indicates members of FBI leadership knew about his backchannel activities regarding the dossier and Steele.
