The former MI6 agent behind an unverified dossier detailing compromising material Russia allegedly collected on Donald Trump, said he felt ‘duty bound’ to share the information.<br /><br /> British newspaper The Independent reported that Christopher Steele worked without pay towards the end of the investigation as he was so concerned over the revelations<br /><br /> The president-elect rubbished the claims, saying Steele was a ‘failed spy’ while the British prime minister Theresa May sought to distance the government from the former agent.<br /><br /> “It’s a long-standing position that we don’t comment on such matters, but I think what… everything we’ve seen, it is absolutely clear that the individual who produced this dossier has not worked for the UK government for years,” she said.<br /><br /> Those close to Steele vouched for his credibility, but Trump continued to call his findings into question.<br /><br /> “I saw the information, I read the information outside of that meeting. It’s all fake news, it’s phoney stuff, it didn’t happen,” he said.<br />
