Misinformation


Former MI6 officer lies low after unmasking as dossier’s author

The dossier by Christopher Steele, including allegations of bizarre sexual exploits and international political conspiracies at the highest levels, has been strongly condemned by Mr Trump and the Kremlin. It presents no conclusive proof and nobody has independently verified its claims. Yet some of those who worked with Mr Steele are prepared to vouch for his previous work. He is a British former intelligence officer who operated in Moscow in the early 1990s, later served as MI6’s chief expert on Russia in London, and resigned in 2009 to set up his own company, Orbis Business Intelligence.
