The FBI offered Christopher Steele $1 million if he could prove allegations recorded in his now-infamous dossier, a senior FBI analyst said in court on Tuesday.
FBI analyst Brian Auten testified in the trial of Igor Danchenko, the primary source of allegations in Steele’s dossier, that the bureau placed a $1 million price tag on confirmation of the dossier’s outlandish allegations. Steele was unable to provide any evidence.
Auten said he and a group of FBI agents met with Steele in October of 2021 and offered the former British spy $1 million for evidence supporting the dossier, according to Fox News. The FBI’s offer came years after it had used the dossier’s claims to secure FISA warrants to surveil former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
“On October 21, 2016, did you have any information to corroborate that information?” Durham asked Auten, referencing the date the first FISA application to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page was filed.
“No,” Auten responded, according to Fox News.
Auten testified that the FBI offered Steele “up to $1 million” for proof substantiating allegations made in a series of reports to the bureau over the course of several months in 2016. The analyst said Steele never received any money because he could not “prove the allegations,” according to CNN. Steel’s reports were eventually compiled into the dossier first published by BuzzFeed News in January 2017.
Danchenko has pleaded not guilty to lying to the FBI. His trial is the last scheduled as part of special counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump/Russia collusion hoax before Durham issues his final report.

Must of been the FBI’s “clandestine” budget that Republicanslike Paul Ryan keep signing
The scapegoat.
Us v them.
Because that’s what they (poorly) chose.
So when Steele failed to collect his cool $million$, the FBI must have disregarded his claims, right? Right?
Cause that’d be a normal and logical law enforcement [or anyone’s] reaction. So that’s what must’ve happened, right? Right?
F**kn’ scammers, liars, & traitors. And they are our ‘premier’ law enforcement agency. Sickens me how many terrorists, child rapists, etc never were discovered bc the FBI was so busy trying to frame a President they didn’t like.
“bc the FBI was so busy trying to frame a President they didn’t like.”
My take “they didn’t like that he was PRO-LIFE.” satan is so in control as perceived by the MSM.
I don’t know about you guys, but this sure sounds like a Major Felony worthy of LIFE in prison for everyone involved
“We really like that evidence that you manufactured for Hillary. Boy, she really got her money’s worth, didn’t she? But listen, we’re going to need some additional evidence. Some really good stuff. Now, we know that certain expenses may be involved in manufacturing evidence of the level of quality we require, so we’re prepared to offer $1M if you come up with something really good. Deal?”
WOW!
Why aren’t they denying it ?
The silence is deafening.
Go ahead....I couldn’t give a sheet of toilet paper.
They did not like that he was pro USA and the citizenry, and on the road to uncover all their bullshiite and how they are/were ripping off the us treasury and destroying this country. The fbi are the pit bulls, not the holder of the leash.
How much did the FIB offer Comey?
That’s a lot of money!
I guess the FBI wanted them to manufacture the evidence.

Why aren’t Republicans demanding answers from FBI chief Christopher Wrey?
They're busy figuring out how they're going to stab us in the back if they get control of Congress again.
It was before inflation!
