A reporter for a major news outlet asked an adviser to Donald Trump about memos saying the New York businessman was involved in an orgy in Russia back in fall of 2015, according to an interview the former adviser gave to The Daily Caller Friday.
The former adviser, who still keeps in touch with Trump and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said a Politico reporter called him in Fall 2015 to ask whether he had ever heard that Trump had an orgy in Russia. The former adviser said he asked the reporter “who told him this” and the reporter said no one, and that he got the information from a document made by Fusion GPS that was floating around.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that a wealthy Republican donor had paid Fusion GPS in September 2015 to create an opposition research file on Trump. This resulted in former British spy Christopher Steele’s dossier which contains unverified claims of deep-ties between the Kremlin and Trump. The dossier that was released by BuzzFeed is dated from June to December 2016, the former adviser said that this is probably the result of an updated document.
He pointed to the dossier including the claim that Michael Cohen met with Russian officials in Prague last August. This allegation has been disputed by an Atlantic report which says Cohen was at a baseball game with his son at the University of Southern California at the time.
