Nuland told the Senate Intel Committee in 2018 that she was "not aware" of a meeting Chris Steele had at State Dept in Oct. 2016. But she also claimed she intentionally avoided taking part in that meeting.
Nuland said in an interview on CBS she deferred to the FBI on how to handle information from Steele that was given to State Department.
But, according to internal FBI emails, Nuland was reluctant to give FBI the information in late Sept. 2016.
