Simpson also asserted that the Russian government had “infiltrated “ the National Rifle Association, which spent more than $400 million in the 2016 election, according to public records. Simpson declined to discuss his dealings with the media, but at least one reporter, David Corn of Mother Jones, wrote a story before the election after meeting with Steele. “We decided that if James Corney wasn't going to tell people about this investigation that, you know, he had violated the rules, and we would only be fair if the world knew that both candidates were under FBI investigation.“ “I was sitting on this piece of knowledge, which was that, in fact, the FBI was investigating the Trump Organization for possibly having illegal dealings with the government of Russia,” Simpson said. Simpson said he was shocked and angry when FBI Director James Comey said publicly he was reopening the Clinton email investigation in October 2016, just weeks before the presidential election. Steele had gone to the FBI in July with his findings, but he didn’t perceive that the bureau was doing very much. Simpson described in detail why he began relaying his findings to reporters in the fall of 2016, just before the November election. So, you know, if you're familiar with Donald Trump's finances and the litigation over whether he's really a billionaire, you know, there's good reason to believe he doesn't have enough money to do this and that he would have had to have outside financial support for these things.” He added: “And these golf courses are just, you know, they're sinks. “And they don't, on their face, show Russian involvement, but what they do show is enormous amounts of capital flowing into these projects from unknown sources and - or at least on paper - it says it's from the Trump Organization, but it's hundreds of millions of dollars.” Simpson said he poured over the financial statements of the golf courses.
But Eric Trump then went on Twitter and denied saying that. Trump's son Eric told golf reporter James Dodson in 2014 that the family's company got much of its funding to build its golf courses from Russia, according to an interview Dodson gave last year to Boston public radio station WBUR.
