Washington Free Beacon funded initial Fusion GPS anti-Trump research
Source: CBS
The conservative website the Washington Free Beacon originally funded research by the firm Fusion GPS that eventually resulted in the now-infamous Trump "dossier," the publication's editor-in-chief and chairman acknowledged in a statement Friday night. The research effort was known to have been supported by Republican allies before the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign picked up the tab for the research. The resulting dossier was compiled by former British spy Michael Steele and contained unsubstantiated allegations about then-candidate Trump's connections to Russia. Mr. Trump has denied the allegations. The Free Beacon's connection to the dossier was first reported by the Washington Examiner Friday night.

7. Like I said, it wasn't what you said that was BS, it was the Free Beacon statement.

6. What the Wash. Free Beacon shows is how far you can go in life if you marry the boss's daughter.
