The co-founder of the opposition research firm that ordered an unsubstantiated dossier on President Donald Trump during the campaign will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee next week.
Glenn Simpson, who founded Fusion GPS in Washington in 2009, will testify in public session on Wednesday, according to the panel's schedule.
The committee will address oversight of federal laws requiring Americans to register with the government if they lobby for foreign entities.
Fusion GPS hired Christopher Steele, a former British spy, to investigate Trump.
The unsubstantiated dossier, which was published by BuzzFeed in January, claimed that Trump and Russia worked together to torpedo Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
Earlier that month, U.S. intelligence officials briefed then-President Barack Obama and Trump, who was president-elect, on the dossier.

They won’t tell, it will need a threat to confiscate their records to get to the truth. Actually, I think there needs to be a raid of their offices ASAP
Since the WSJ, WaPo, NYT, and CNN have been well known outlets for CIA disinformation operations in the past; (As exposed in the Church Committee Congressional hearings)......are those same operations currently very active through their agents placed in the MSM?
Are elements of the US Government attempting to pull off a soft-coup against the legally elected President of the United States? .......as they did with the murder of JFK?
Is President Trump being visciously attacked via disinformation agents planted in the MSM as part of a contemporary version of Operation Mockingbird?
Glad it is the Judiciary committee.
You are correct
Search Warrant
The Same is true for the New York times. There is ample cause to visit the Times in Brigade force on a Monday morning, produce the warrant ,sweep all offices clean and then search for classified matter.
If it takes two months, so be it.
Grassley will work this criminal over the coals.
Search warrants work every time they are issued.
Can't understand why. Same pussbag politicians as other committees even if they DO go by different names. It's not as if anyone, R or D, is truly interested in exposing the truth about any of this. They ALL suck and are just looking for face time.
To be fair, Grassley has been doing a good job of late.
Far more so than any of the other Chairmen in their respective committees.
Expect him to take The fifth
Grassley is interested in the truth. He is the chairman of the committee. He has been pushing the Fusion connection for some time.
Comey chose the Intelligence Committee to testify before because he wanted to avoid Grassley who was pissed.
You folks seem to have far more faith in these vermin than I.
We’ll see who’s right next week.
Fusion has now declined to show up.
...and the Judiciary Committee is saddened....and once again, nothing will happen...wait a sec while I put on my shocked face.
IT IS ALL BULL$#!T
Grassley will issue a subpoena requiring him to testify.
Grassley will issue a subpoena requiring him to testify.
Haven’t heard that yet...and even if he does...5th and done.
IT IS ALL BULL$#!T
It is not done. Fusion is a major player in the Russia “scandal.” They are connected to the dossier and the Russian lawyer who met with DJT Jr. Mueller will be forced to investigate and Grassley will not let go of it.
