Arizona Senator who disowned Trump before election admits he handed document outlining claims of Kremlin blackmail to FBI
Brief statement claims that he received it and gave it directly to FBI Director James Comey because he was 'unable to make judgment about accuracy'
But Washington reporter Carl Bernstein says former British ambassador to Moscow handed it to McCain
Ambassador has not been named - and author of report also gave to FBI agent he knew at its station in Rome months ago
Report was apparently paid for first BY Republican enemies of Trump then by Democrats
Sworn Donald Trump enemy John McCain admitted Wednesday that he passed the dossier of claims of a Russian blackmail plot against the president-elect.
The Arizona senator issued a public statement amid mounting questions of his exact role in the affair - and how a document riddled with errors and unverifiable claims came to be published.
'Late last year, I received sensitive information that has since been made public,' he said.
'Upon examination of the contents, and unable to make a judgment about their accuracy, I delivered the information to the Director of the FBI.
'That has been the extent of my contact with the FBI or any other government agency regarding this issue.'
But the 2008 Republican loser, who disowned his party's candidate weeks before the election, may have been far more intimately involved than that.
The chain of how the document reached the FBI is not officially known.
However Carl Bernstein, the Watergate reporter who contributed to the first story about its existence, published by CNN on Tuesday afternoon, suggested that McCain was handed it by a former British ambassador to Moscow.

McCain has been a traitor since Viet Nam.
McCain is dog doo.
Scumbag.
McCain needs to step down and a date set for a special election to for a replacement senator.
Grrrrr. Recall Arizonians! Please.
Say that again:
McCain has been a traitor since Viet Nam.
Loser,well it’s enough proof for me to believe he was a traitor in Vietnam too.
RESIGN
I don’t believe Bernstein. Apparently this trash has been handed out to everyone from John Podoretz at the New York Post to my local coupon insert at Stop & Shop. Trump doing an excellent push-back at his presser.
I have always feared expressing my views on McCain here (I don’t want to get banned). But it is closely similar to yours.
McCain should be shunned......................
I’m with you concerning McCain. I’m just going to keep my feelings to myself about him.
Time to take McCain down.
Actually, past time—Way past time.
McConnell needs to immediately remove McCain from all leadership positions in the Senate. Any “Republican” undermining the party or president should be removed from any leadership roles. If not, then McConnell himself should resign or be replaced.
John McCain has become a national security hazard, should be immediately removed from his position as US senator.
Every single person on this site should pat themselves on the back.
We all can bet that “someone” has been, and continues, to monitor this site.
Now “son of” Cain can expect another beat down like he got in the “Hilton” only it will be worse.
I am tired of the words Nazi, racist, and traitor. There are actual real Nazis, racists, and traitors. I disagree with McCain often but he is not a traitor.
Something must be done about McCain.
He is demented and evil.
