Christopher Steele, the one-time British spy who compiled a dossier on president-elect Donald Trump, is a well-regarded operative who wouldn't make up stories to satisfy his clients, according to diplomatic and intelligence experts who know him.
The report contains unproven information on close co-ordination between Trump's inner circle and the Russians about hacking into Democratic accounts � as well as unproven claims about Trump's sexual activities attributed to anonymous sources. The Associated Press has not authenticated any of the claims.
