In 2016 FusionGPS was employed by two entities seeking to meddle in American elections: (1) the Democratic party and [[2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign|Clinton campaign]] (through the firm of [[Perkins Coie]]); and (2) Prevezon Holdings owned by the Katsyv family (through the firm of BakeHoestetler); the Katsyv family is headed by Pyotr Katsyv, Vice President of ‘Russian Railways’, a huge Russian transportation company in which the Russian government is the sole shareholder.<ref>https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/checking-facts-there-evidence-fusion-gps-was-paid-russia-while-compiling-trump</ref> While Clinton campaign and Obama Justice Department sought to frame Donald Trump as "colluding with Russia" in violation of U.S. sanctions, FusionGPS used [[Natlia Veselnitskaya]], who represented the Katsyvs, to engage in illegal unregistered lobbying for repeal of Russian sanctions.

While the Clinton campaign and Obama Justice Department sought to frame Donald Trump as "colluding with Russia" in violation of U.S. sanctions, FusionGPS used [[Natlia Veselnitskaya]], who represented the Katsyvs, to engage in illegal unregistered lobbying for repeal of Russian sanctions.
While in the [[United States]] illegally, FusionGPS arranged for Veselnitskaya to present Donald Trump Jr, Jarad Kushner, and Paul Manafort anti-sanctions material at the notorious June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, whih the FBI then used as further justification of "Russian contacts" to initiate a [[counterintelligence]] investigation of Team Trump.
FusionGPS played a large role in the effort of the Clinton campaign and the [[Obama administration]]'s attempt to subvert the candidacy of [[Donald Trump]] and, after Trump was elected, the [[Deep state coup]] attempt to remove him from office.
