US informant may have received taxpayer funds to spy on Trump campaign,
Grassley says
The Department of Defense may have used taxpayer funds to pay longtime
informant Stefan Halper, a Cambridge University professor, to recruit
members of the Trump campaign as sources in the run-up to the 2016 election,
Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said in an
explosive letter on Wednesday.
Grassley, writing to James Baker, the director of the Office of Net
Assessment (ONA) at the Defense Department, or DOD, also flagged other
suspicious payments to Halper -- including some for DOD contracts that he
may not have performed, and others from "unknown" foreign entities. (In
response to a lawsuit last year alleging that he was part of a smear
campaign to discredit the Trump campaign, Halper claimed a kind of immunity
ordinarily afforded to government agents.)
The GOP senator asserted that it was "unacceptable" that the DOD spent most
of 2019 dodging his requests for information about Halper's contacts with U.
S. officials, before saying that the information the DOD has provided raised
more troubling questions. The ONA essentially functions as the Pentagon's
internal think tank.
In one DOD contract awarded in September 2015, Grassley noted, "Professor
Halper lists former Deputy Foreign Minister for Russia, Vyacheslav Trubnikov
, as a consultant and advisor to a paper delivered" to ONA. |
