In a shocking report from the Washington Post, it is now known that the FBI was working with former M16 agent Christopher Steele, who investigating the connections between the Russian government and the then-candidate Donald Trump.

According to the report, FBI officials at the top of the chain offered to pay the former British spy to continue with his investigation leading up to the election.
