In January 2018, Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the full transcript of an August 2017 ten-hour interview that the Judiciary Committee (which Grassley heads) conducted with Glenn Simpson.[79] Simpson is the co-founder of the political opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which produced the so-called Steele Dossier on alleged connections between Trump and Russia. Grassley condemned Feinstein, saying that her decision was "confounding" and that it deterred future witnesses in the Russia 2016 investigation.[79] However, Simpson had requested that the full transcript of his interview be released, because Republicans had selectively leaked portions of the testimony to conservative media outlets to portray Simpson in a negative light and discredit the Steele Dossier.[80][79]
