Slate Was Asking Fusion GPS For Edits On Hit-Piece Targeting Trump

(TheLibertyRevolution.com)- According to a publicly filed exhibit in the U.S. prosecution against Democratic attorney Michael Sussmann, a writer for Slate sent a draft of an article concerning Donald Trump and Russia to employees of Fusion GPS, the research firm hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign to study her Republican competitor.

According to one of the emails filed by Special Counsel John Durham as an exhibit to a motion this week, Franklin Foer forwarded the story to Fusion’s Peter Fritsch and Jake Berkowitz, titled “Manchuriancandidate.foer” as an attachment. According to the Washington Examiner, the exhibit, including some of the Fusion GPS emails to reporters, was unredacted for a while before being sealed again by Tuesday.

According to an email on June 28, 2016, Foer said he turned in a rough draft of the story. He apologized for the lack of editing. He asked that they check it for flaws and omissions. He also wanted assurances that they wouldn’t use it to prod the competition.

He thanked them for their assistance.

Fritsch responded shortly after saying that “it’s fantastic.” as your editor should remark… Jake and I will take a closer look at the material and offer some comments.”
