Revision as of 10:33, January 9, 2018

Glenn Simpson is the founder of FusionGPS.

Simpson formerly was a reporter for The Wall Street Journal covering money laundering and other financial crime, including terrorist financing, tax evasion and corporate misconduct. For nine years, he was based in the Journal's Washington, D.C., bureau. In January 2005, he moved to the Journal's European headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. His past coverage for the Journal includes the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath, technology and privacy, the Justice Department, Congress, banking agencies and the White House, the Federal Trade Commission, and major scandals including Whitewater, foreign campaign contributions and Monica Lewinsky. His October 1996 articles disclosing illegal contributions from Indonesia and China to the Bill Clinton presidential campaign (with Jill Abramson) sparked a year-long congressional investigation into Chinagate and various federal prosecutions and were included in a nomination package by the Journal for a Pulitzer Prize.

Simpson began his journalism career in 1986 as an editorial assistant at Insight. He became a reporter for the Washington-based magazine in 1988 and a writer in 1989. He moved to Roll Call magazine as a staff writer in 1989 and became a senior staff writer in 1993. He joined the Journal in August 1995.

Born in Paoli, Penn., Simpson received a bachelor's degree in journalism from George Washington University.[1] He and his wife, Wall Street Journal reporter Mary Jacoby,[2] have two children.

Trump Tower meeting

On May 12, 2026 Prevezon Holdings settled with the Obama administration for $6 million in a Russia money-laundering suit. Russian attorney representing clients in the suit, Natalie Veselnitskaya, remained in US to lobby for repeal of the Magnitsky Act, or Russian sanctions bill.

Veselnitskaya was initially denied entry into the United States, only to be granted special immigration parole status unfer "extraordinary circumstances" by Obama's Homeland Security Department and approved by former AG Loretta Lynch so that Veselnitskaya could represent FusionGPS client Denis Katsyv's company, Prevezon Holdings. Veselnitskaya overstayed her immigration parole status so that she could attend the meeting aranged by Fusion GPS associate Rob Goldstone at Trump Tower with Donald Trump Jr.

The clients Veselnitskaya represented are on the Russia sanctions list. Veselnitskaya was hired by FusionGPS and engaged in illegal lobbying for repeal of the Magnitsky Act. Neither Veselnitskaya, nor FusionGPS, registered as Russian agents under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

The Russians had stolen about $350 million from Bill Browder, a London banker, and some of the stolen assets ended with Veselnitskaya's clients at Prevezon Holdings. Browder filed a complaint with the FBI over FusionGPS's illegal, unregistered foreign lobbying on behalf of Russia.[3] The Obama FBI and Justice Department ignored the complaint.

Ike Kaveladze[4] and FusionGPS operatives Rinat Akhmetshin[5] and Natalia Veselnitskaya,[6] met with Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner.[7] on June 9. Hours before the Trump Tower meeting, Simpson met with Veselnitskaya and again after.[8] Veselnitskaya told NBC News she received the information — describing alleged tax evasion and donations to Democrats — from Simpson.[9][10][11] FusionGPS hired Christopher Steele to author the Steele dossier three days after the meeting.[12]

Steele dossier

In April 2016 the Washington Free Beacon droped FusionGPS whom they hired to do opposition research on Donald Trump.[13][14] Attn. Mark E. Elias of Perkins Coie hired FusionGPS to continue the research on behalf of their clients, the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee two weeks later.[15] [16]
