Steele said in a witness statement that Trump’s decision to declassify his 2017 testimony to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation was “one of the most egregious breaches of intelligence rules and protocol by the US government in recent times”.

The former intelligence officer also said: “Two of the named Russian sources have not been seen or heard of since.”

His witness statement was made public on Tuesday, the day after Trump asked London’s High Court to allow his data protection lawsuit against a British private investigations firm co-founded by Steele to continue.

        Reuters also regularly regurgitates disinformation and obvious lies coming directly from the Kremlin. I guess they don’t consider truth or accuracy very important, only “reporting news”.
