REPORT Russian Hackers Tried To Get Information On TRUMP Too
Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, whose Russia connected firm produced the dossier, was asked to testify in front of the Committee earlier this week but refused. He has since agreed to a transcribed interview.

“Last week, we subpoenaed Mr. Simpson after he initially declined to voluntarily cooperate with the committee’s request for information and asserted that he would invoke his Fifth Amendment rights at a public hearing. However, since that time, Mr. Simpson, through his attorney, has agreed to provide a transcribed interview and requested that the subpoena compelling his attendance at Wednesday’s hearing be waived. We’ve reached an agreement on this request and have withdrawn the subpoena. As with other witnesses who have agreed to provide interviews, this agreement does not constitute a waiver of Mr. Simpson’s rights nor prejudice the committee’s right to compel his testimony in the future,” Chairman Chuck Grassley and Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein released in a statement earlier this week.
“Our goal remains obtaining substantive information from witnesses to advance our oversight work and get answers the American people deserve,” the statement continues.
