Deripaska is one of the first Russians the FBI asked for help when it began investigating the ''[[Steele dossier]]''. The agents posited a theory that [[2016 Trump campaign|Trump's campaign]] was secretly colluding with Russia to hijack the U.S. election. {{Quotebox|"Deripaska laughed but realized, despite the joviality, that they were serious," said his agent [[Adam Waldman]].
