More from Fox News:
A federal judge in Florida this week ordered Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that commissioned the infamous anti-Trump dossier, to give a deposition in a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against BuzzFeed News and the former British spy who compiled the dossier.
In a 16-page ruling filed Thursday, U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro rejected claims by Fusion that sitting for a deposition would “require disclosure of confidential business relationships” and “implicate Fusion GPS’ First Amendment rights.” Ungaro also wrote that Fusion must answer questions about what ex-MI6 spy Christopher Steele was told about the nature of his assignment to compile the dossier.
“There is no evidence in the record to suggest that such inquiry would be cumulative and Fusion GPS’s conclusory claims of undue burden are plainly outweighed by the significant relevance of the proposed inquiry,” Ungaro wrote.
Russian tech guru Aleksej Gubarev has filed civil claims in the U.S. and the U.K. against BuzzFeed and Steele. He claims his companies, Webzilla and XBT Holdings, were defamed by Steele after the BuzzFeed published the dossier on Jan. 10, 2017.
The dossier alleged that Gubarev’s companies “used botnets and porn traffic to transmit viruses, plant bugs, steal data and conduct ‘alerting operations’ against the Democratic party leadership.”
Since the surveillance of Carter Page was premised partly on the Trump dossier, learning more about it is key to understanding if the investigation was politically motivated or not.
It almost feels like the Dems are in a race to impeach President Trump while the GOP is in a race to impeach Hillary Clinton!!
