Simpson and Veselnitskaya had been hired by Russians the intermediaries to engage in [[illegal]] [[lobbying]] to repeal [[Russian sanctions]].
Simpson claimed in testimony to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on Nov. 14, 2017 that he did not have contact with any FBI or DOJ officials regarding the infamous ''Steele dossier'' until after the 2016 election. But [[Bruce Ohr]]'s emails show that Ohr and Simpson were in contact as early as August 2016, three weeks after the Russia investigation began.
