He did confirm that Steele himself had gone to the FBI with the dosser information because he was so concerned with what the Russians were doing. He also stated that Steele had told him that they had already had information on it. He stated that he had worked with Steele in the past and that he had high regard for his work. He made note of the numerous ties to reputed Russian mobsters, and the fact that he had traveled to Russia several times for business deals but never completed one.
Much of the questioning from the Republican lawyers was in relation to work they did for Prevezon and the law firm of Baker and Hostetler in researching a man named William Browder. Evidently Browder had previously been interviewed by the committee and had made some serious allegations about Fusion Gps and Christoper Steele. Those allegations had even been repeated by Sarah Huckabee Sanders in press conferences. This may have been where the notion that the Democrats were the ones who colluded with the Russians actually began. It's interesting to note that Browders name is never brought up in the conversation.
