FBI officials testified that while detailed to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, they sought to investigate Democratic operative Charles Dolan for his connections to Russia.
Mueller was appointed to investigate whether Donald Trump and members of his campaign were colluding with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election. After nearly two years, Mueller’s more-than $30 million investigation yielded no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 presidential election.

But Danchenko later used Dolan’s information in the dossier and attributed it to"an American political figure associated with Donald Trump." Dolan said Durham showed him his email side by side with the dossier, and Dolan agreed the two looked"similar."
