On March 31, 2017 [[Senate Judiciary Committee]] Chairman [[Charles Grassley]] inquired of the [[United States Department of Justice|Justice Dept.]] about a complaint filed in July 2016 alleging [[FusionGPS]], authors of the ''[[Steele dossier]]'', acting as an unregistered agent of Russia in a lobbying campaign to rewrite and overturn the Magnitsky Act, a law named for a [[Whistleblower Statutes|whistleblower]] who was allegedly murdered while in custody in Russia. The law imputed sanctions against certain Russian officials. Grassley wrote that when FusionGPS reportedly was acting as an unregistered agent of Russian interests, it simultaneously was creating the ''Steele dossier'' of unsubstantiated allegations of conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians. The Obama Justice Dept. had done nothing since July 2016 to respond to the complaint of FusionGPS' violation of the [[Foreign Agents Registration Act]] (FARA).
