The lawyer who hired opposition research firm Fusion GPS – which was instrumental in the Trump-Russia narrative – on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign is now working for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
Marc Elias of the Perkins Coie law firm joined the Harris team earlier this year as general counsel, the same position he held on Clinton’s campaign, the Washington Examiner reports. While working for Clinton, Elias paid Fusion GPS to dig up damaging material on then-candidate Donald Trump, which provided much of the basis for the discredited Trump-Russia scandal that would dominate US news cycles for over two years.
