Book: Steele says 70-90 percent of his Trump-Russia dossier is accurate [View all]
BY OLIVIA BEAVERS - 11/15/17
The former British intelligence officer behind the controversial Trump dossier believes his reports are "70 percent to 90 percent" accurate, according to a new book about Russia's influence in the 2016 election written by Guardian reporter Luke Harding.
Steele also reportedly believes the contents of his report will be verified and his work vindicated as special counsel Robert Mueller continues to investigate possible ties between the Trump campaign and Moscow, according to a Guardian story written about the book and published on Wednesday.
“I’ve been dealing with this country for thirty years. Why would I invent this stuff?” Steele is quoted as saying in Harding's new book, "Collusion: How Russia Helped Donald Trump Win."
According to Harding, Steele felt shocked by his findings and the information his sources gave him about the extent of the collusion, warning friends that reading his report would be a "life-changing experience.”
Harding's book also reportedly claims that Washington insiders took the explosive allegations in the dossier seriously because of Steele's trusted reputation of reporting on Kremlin matters, according to the Guardian. Steele reportedly wrote over a hundred reports on Russia and Ukraine between 2014 and 2016.
