Christopher Steele, the former head of the MI6 Russia desk who authored a controversial opposition research report on Donald Trump ahead of the 2016 election, has offered a pointed message to the disgraced former US president ahead of his possible indictment by a New York City grand jury.
In a video posted to Twitter, investigative journalist and ex-BBC presenter John Sweeney revealed that he’d run into Mr Steele, who served the Secret Intelligence Service under diplomatic cover in Moscow from 1990 to 1993 and later investigated the fatal poisoning of ex-FSB officer Alexander Litvenenko in London.
