Nunes Wants to Interview Alleged Steele Dossier Source
The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee signaled his desire to interview mysterious Trump-Russia figure Sergei Millian, allegedly an unwitting source for British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s dossier, after details emerged about the Russia investigation.
Rep. Devin Nunes of California said his own investigation of the Crossfire Hurricane investigators has zeroed in on three Russian Americans, telling Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures he believed the most important was Millian, following recent revelations from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on the FBI’s Russia investigation.
“Because of new information that has come out because of the Horowitz report that’s declassified that we’ve been talking about for a long time and the FISAs, we now are targeting what appear to be three Russian-Americans,” Nunes said. “I think the most important one is somebody that we actually asked to come to our committee named Sergei Millian. He is hiding somewhere around the globe — we don’t know exactly what country he’s in. But we really would like Sergei to come forward and talk to us because, either he was, you know, working for Fusion GPS and the Clinton campaign and dirtying up Trump people, or it’s quite possible that he may have been framed.”
Millian, an American citizen who was born in Belarus when it was still part of the Soviet Union, was named Siarhei Kukuts at birth but changed it as an adult. He went to school in Minsk, where he reportedly trained as a military translator, and he moved to the United States in the early 2000s. When living in Atlanta, he founded a trade group called the Russian American Chamber of Commerce in the USA and has claimed to have high-level Russian government contacts, though he has denied any connection to Russian intelligence. Millian also claimed to have business ties with Trump associates.
A Twitter account purporting to belong to Millian responded to Nunes on Sunday. “Dear Congressman Devin Nunes, thank you for your very public appeal on Maria Bartiromo and Fox News,” the alleged Millian account said. “Please follow me on Twitter. Let’s start a discussion about our meeting. #Repeal #Unconstitutional #FISA #Against #Americans.” (Read more from “Nunes Wants to Interview Alleged Steele Dossier Source” HERE)
