The FBI offered a British ex-spy up to $1m to prove Trump's ties to Russia, per The Times of London.
A senior FBI analyst revealed this during the trial of the Steele dossier's primary source — Igor Danchenko.
Christopher Steele could not verify his allegations, and the money was not paid out.
The FBI offered former British spy Christopher Steele up to $1 million to verify allegations in his dossier about former President Donald Trump's ties to Russia, The Times of London reported.
The money was not paid out because Steele, once the head of MI6's Russia desk, did not provide sufficient evidence to substantiate claims made in the now-infamous "Steele dossier," including that there exists a so-called pee tape of obscene material involving Trump in Russia before his political career, The Times said.
