And the other thing that really made it work, you had Sir Richard Barons, who's somebody who's incredibly experienced, doesn't take any hostages, will absolutely say it how it is.
Ayesha HazarikaGUEST
Sir Christopher Steele, who is one of our most eminent people in terms of security and intelligence technology.

and Sir Kim Darroch, Lord Darroch, who had been not just the ambassador in Washington, but, you know, the kind of big security advisor in government.

And they had this team of real experts who were all kind of military men and women who were giving us information in real time.

And Turnberry is claiming that Donald Trump doesn't own them now.
Marcy WheelerGUEST

Jim JordanGUEST
But, you know, with with the Clinton campaign, hiring the law firm Perkins Coie, hiring the public relations firm Fusion GPS, hiring Christopher Steele, the foreigner who writes the bogus document called the dossier that goes to Comey.
Jim JordanGUEST
Comey uses that to go to the secret court to get a warrant to spy.
Jim JordanGUEST
I mean, that's when it all started.
Laura WebsterHOST
Or if you're involved in any way in kind of policy development, please please please come up with a motion to ban AI food advertising I just can't do it anymore I can't it makes me feel physically sick anyway we'll talk about our last story there's not too much analysis that we can give you on this one it's really more of an update on what's happening So if you haven't already heard, US President Donald Trump is being sued for £800,000 by a company founded by a former MI6 spy in a Scottish court.
Laura WebsterHOST
Orbis Business Intelligence Director Christopher Steele is seeking unpaid legal costs from Trump Turnberry Golf Resort following a data protection lawsuit in England in 2024, BBC News has been reporting.
Laura WebsterHOST
However, SLC Turnberry Limited, the firm that owns the South Ayrshire Resort, has disputed Trump's role as the ultimate owner, arguing the course is held by a trust.
Laura WebsterHOST
Steele, the former MI6 agent, was the author of a dossier alleging the US president bribed Russian officials and took part in perverted sexual attacks in Russia.

Jim JordanGUEST

Jim JordanGUEST

Jim JordanGUEST
That's when it all started.
Andrew CollingwoodHOST
And I understand that.
Andrew CollingwoodHOST
Donald Trump is probably upset with Britain, and especially the Labour government, because of that involvement in politicking against him on two occasions, the Steele dossier, and also their efforts to take him on through their NGO complex and helping the Kamala Harris campaign as well.
Andrew CollingwoodHOST
I understand that.
Andrew CollingwoodHOST
I understand that.

Philip PilkingtonHOST
in American politics against Trump.
Philip PilkingtonHOST
Both of these were quasi-diplomatic or intelligence interventions, let's be frank, and that's how they're viewed in DC.
Philip PilkingtonHOST
Christopher Steele, who dumped the dossier, is not just some rando.
Philip PilkingtonHOST
He's an ex-MI6 operative, and he runs some sort of a private intelligence firm in London.
Josh ReidHOST
So we know Five Eyes was involved in all of this, okay? So remember that foreign assist part, okay? So the same day the subpoena was issued, diGenova resigned, the Q board post indicated foreign assistance.
Josh ReidHOST
Five Eyes is part of the equation we knew about, but not much has been released, declassified, or discussed on this, and that's important as well, is that we've seen almost nothing come out about Five Eyes' involvement within Christopher Steele, the Steele dossier, within Russia- Russiagate, uh, Ukraine, Uk- none of this.
Josh ReidHOST
So what if the prosecution has evidence of foreign collaboration directly with Brennan? He walks into the subpoena thinking they have a weak case and lack evidence.
Josh ReidHOST
Instead, he is walking into a subpoena territory with all the cards stacked against him.
David CornGUEST
A disinformation operation.
Al LetsonHOST
Can you tell me a little bit about the Steele dossier? That was a big thing in 2016, and I know Trump was hung up on it.
Al LetsonHOST
Was there any evidence that what was in that dossier was true? And exactly what was it?
David CornGUEST
Well, in 2016, an opposition research group that was hired by Democrats to do work on Donald Trump said, asked Christopher Steele, who was a retired British intelligence officer with a good reputation, who had worked with the U.S. government many times in many cases, to look into Donald Trump.
David CornGUEST
Because Donald Trump had had business relationships with Russia.
David CornGUEST
He was saying bizarrely positive things about Putin.
David CornGUEST
And they wanted to know, is there anything here that the public should know? And Christopher Steele started sending them reports, memos that...
David CornGUEST
When compiled, were called the Steele dossier, and it was really a collection of gossip, speculation, half-truths, leads, and unproven allegations.
Trish ReganHOST
The first is a little bit more narrow.
Trish ReganHOST
Did John Brennan lie to Congress about the Steele dossier and the 2017 Intel community assessment? Brennan has testified that the CIA opened, or rather opposed, including the dossier.
Trish ReganHOST
The CIA opposed including the dossier.
Trish ReganHOST
He said that the CIA was not involved with it, But, but, but, but, here's the big but.
Trish ReganHOST
And they indicate that Brennan may have made the ultimate decision, along with James Comey, why would this not surprise me, right, to include information from the dossier despite warnings from a senior CIA officer about its flaws, right? And obviously there were serious flaws because...
Trish ReganHOST
It was just a bunch of garbage and it was something that was commissioned by an opposition research firm that went out and hired, right, Fusion GPS.
Trish ReganHOST
It was actually commissioned by Hillary Clinton and her campaign who went through a law firm in DC who then hired Fusion GPS, who then basically went out and hired Christopher Steele.
Trish ReganHOST
And Christopher Steele was fed a bunch of garbage by some Russian spies.
