Ex-MI6 spy who compiled Trump-Russia collusion dossier says it’s ‘70 to 90% accurate’

The former MI6 spy behind an infamous dossier that accused Donald Trump of asking prostitutes to urinate on a hotel bed in Russia because Barack Obama once slept there insists his report is “70 to 90 percent” accurate. The claims have been widely discredited.

In a new book on the subject, ‘Collusion: How Russia Helped Donald Trump Win,’ former agent Christopher Steele is quoted telling friends that he thinks his dossier will be vindicated, according to the Guardian.

He claims his reports were based on sources cultivated over a span of three decades, while working in the intelligence community. “I’ve been dealing with this country for 30 years. Why would I invent this stuff,” Steele is quoted as saying. Steele’s friends are reported to say that Steele admits intelligence is rarely 100-percent accurate but claimed most of his information had “proven up” and sources were reliable. Evidence supporting the claims has not been produced, however.
