Obama For America Linked to Fake Trump Dossier
US President Donald Trump slammed former President Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign, citing a report that it paid nearly $1-M to a law firm linked to the company behind the controversial and unverified dossier alleging connections between Donald Trump and Moscow.
His comments came in a Tweet Monday morning:
Report out that Obama Campaign paid $972,000 to Fusion GPS. The firm also got $12,400,000 (really?) from DNC. Nobody knows who OK’d!
Also, it has been reported that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) helped fund the research that resulted in the dossier. A lawyer from Perkins Coie represented the Clinton campaign and the DNC and retained Fusion GP to conduct the research
A Federal Election Commission report reveals that Obama For America (OFA), paid about $800,000 to Perkins Coie in Y 2016 for “legal services,” and another $174,725 was paid by OFA to the law firm in Y 2017.
The timing of the payments to the law firm raise questions where the OFA money was eventually winding up. OFA was responsible for Obama’s successful 2012 re-election campaign. It reorganized after the Y 2016 election and planned to use its resources to oppose Donald Trump
The NY-T’s reported the law firm was paid $12.4-M to represent Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC during the campaign in Y 2016.
Stay tuned…
