Here's a thread of claims made in the Steele memos with publicly available information from reputable sources.
"Source B asserted that the TRUMP operation was both supported and directed by Russian President Vladimir PUTIN."

U.S. intelligence concluded that Putin himself ordered the attack on the 2016 election. nytimes.com/2017/01/06/us/…
