Report out that Obama Campaign paid $972,000 to Fusion GPS. It had, instead, given the money to Perkins Coie, which had paid Fusion GPS for Steele. So, to summarize:Obama’s campaign paid Perkins Coie for years for legal advice. There’s no evidence that the 2016 payments had anything to do with Fusion GPS. Most of the reports in the dossier had been completed by the time that OFA paid Perkins Coie in September 2016.
