WASHINGTON â€“ The former British spy who compiled a controversial dossier alleging coordination between then-candidate Donald Trump and the Kremlin was told that the FBI had "a source" inside the Trump Organization whose information lent some credibility to his findings, a witness told congressional investigators last summer.

Glenn Simpson, founder of the Fusion GPS research firm that hired former British agent Christopher Steele, told investigators that the FBI had shared the existence of "a human source from inside the Trump Organization" in a September 2016 meeting with Steele.

The information came as Steele shared his own findings with a top bureau official in Rome, according to a transcript of the Simpson interview with the Senate Judiciary Committee released Tuesday.
