Crime in Progress

Meer over het boek

This book presents the inside story of the Steele Dossier and the Trump-Russia investigation. In 2015, Fusion GPS founders Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch were hired by a Republican client to investigate Donald Trump's background. Their inquiry revealed alarming ties between Trump and the Kremlin, along with various crimes that would later overshadow his presidency. To interpret this troubling evidence, they enlisted Christopher Steele, a former MI6 agent and Russia expert, who produced the infamous dossier. This document revealed that the Trump campaign was compromised by a foreign power intent on disrupting Western politics and influencing the U.S. election. The authors recount their high-stakes investigation and their attempts to alert the American and British governments, the FBI, and the media, often to no avail. When the dossier was leaked, the small research firm found itself at the center of a global news story, leading to the Mueller report and derailing Trump's plans for a rapprochement with Russia. After years of investigation, the authors conclude that Trump is an asset of the Russian government, whether he is aware of it or not.
