Written for a private client [Deripaska] but shared widely within the US State Dept, and sent up to Sec. of State John Kerry and assistant Sec. of State Victoria Nuland — who was in charge of the US response to Putin’s annexation of Crimea and covert invasion of eastern Ukraine.
Nuland: "During the Ukraine crisis in 2014-15, Chris Steele had a number of commercial clients who were asking him for reports on what was going on in Russia, what was going on in Ukraine, what was going on between them."
Nuland: "Chris had a friend [Jonathan Winer] at the State Department and he offered us that reporting free so that we could also benefit from it. It was one of, you know, hundreds of sources that we were using to try to understand what was going on."
Devin Nunes on Crossfire Hurricane/Russia Narrative:
"We are looking at State Dept. When we began looking at State Department, you had Victoria Nuland and other people who decided to go out and talk about things publicly which actually helped our investigation out quite a bit.

Nunes: "We know that many people in the Obama era State Department were involved in the opening of that investigation."
"We also know that many people in the State Department were also meeting with Christopher Steele."
