MORE: Out of the Shadows: Christopher Steele defiant on dossier, says Trump still 'potential' threat In the indictment handed down by a federal grand jury and signed by Special counsel John Durham, Danchenko is accused of falsely telling the FBI he had never communicated with an unidentified U.S.-based individual "who was a long-time participant in Democratic Party Politics" about any allegations included in the dossier - whereas the indictment says Danchenko had actually sourced one or more of the allegations to that individual. Trump has vehemently denied the claim and no evidence has surfaced to support the allegation.ĭanchenko has been charged with five separate counts of making false statements to the FBI in interviews where he discussed how he obtained information that he later provided to Steele for inclusion in the dossier. Igor Danchenko, a Russian national living in the U.S., has previously defended his role in gathering information that Steele used in his dossier, including the salacious claim that Russian officials may have had a videotape of Trump watching prostitutes in a hotel room during a 2013 trip to Moscow.
