Key Source in Steele Dossier Identified as Disgruntled Russian PR Exec
https://www.thedailybeast.com/key-source-in-steele-dossier-was-employees-old-classmate-and-disgraced-russian-pr-exec-wsj-reportsA key source in ex-British spy Christopher Steele’s infamous dossier investigating links between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia was a disgruntled Russian PR executive and old friend of Steele’s employee, according to a Wall Street Journal investigation. Olga Galkina, who was working in Cyprus at the time of Steele’s investigations, is a middle school classmate of Igor Danchenko, who helped Steele try to uncover potentially compromising information on then-candidate Trump. She is responsible for some of the dossier’s key allegations, including the accusation that internet service company Webzilla played a central role in the 2016 DNC hack and that its Russian owner, Aleksej Gubarev, was strong-armed into cooperating with Russian security services. Galkina also claimed ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen held a secret meeting with Russian intel officials.
