‘Dossier’ author Chris Steele met Ivanka Trump years before Russia scandal, source says
Nearly a decade before the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka met a British intelligence officer who ran the Russia desk — and when the agent left his covert service and moved into private practice in 2010, she stayed in touch, ABC News has learned.
This is a relationship Ivanka Trump has never publicly discussed.
Also want to point out, as I mention in the piece, ABC first learned of the contacts between Ivanka and Steele a year ago but has only recently been able to verify. ABC has incredibly high editorial standards. Wanted to publish sooner – but we had to be sure. Proud to work @ABC
