NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee have agreed to pay $113,000 to settle a Federal Election Commission investigation into whether they violated campaign finance law by misreporting spending on research that eventually became the infamous Steele dossier.

That's according to documents sent Tuesday to the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, which had filed an administrative complaint in 2018 accusing the Democrats of misreporting payments made to a law firm during the 2016 campaign to obscure the spending.

The Clinton campaign hired Perkins Coie, which then hired Fusion GPS, a research and intelligence firm, to conduct opposition research on Republican candidate Donald Trump's ties to Russia. But on FEC forms, the Clinton campaign classified the spending as legal services.

“By intentionally obscuring their payments through Perkins Coie and failing to publicly disclose the true purpose of those payments," the campaign and DNC "were able to avoid publicly reporting on their statutorily required FEC disclosure forms the fact that they were paying Fusion GPS to perform opposition research on Trump with the intent of influencing the outcome of the 2016 presidential election,” the initial complaint had read.

The Clinton campaign and DNC had argued that the payments had been described accurately, but agreed, according to the documents, to settle without conceding to avoid further legal costs.

The Clinton campaign agreed to a civil penalty of $8,000 and the DNC $105,000, according to a pair of conciliatory agreements that were attached to the letter sent to the Coolidge Reagan Foundation.

The documents have not yet been made public and FEC spokeswoman Judith Ingram said the FEC has 30 days after parties are notified about enforcement matters to release them.

The Steele dossier was a report compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele and financed by Democrats that included salacious allegations about Trump’s conduct in Russia and allegations about ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Documents have shown the FBI invested significant resources attempting to corroborate the dossier and relied substantially on it to obtain surveillance warrants targeting former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

But the dossier has been largely discredited since its publication, with core aspects of the material exposed as unsupported and unproven rumors. A special counsel assigned to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia probe charged one of Steele’s sources with lying to the FBI and charged a cybersecurity lawyer who worked for Clinton’s campaign with lying to the FBI during a 2016 meeting in which he relayed concerns about the Russia-based Alfa Bank.

Trump, who has railed against the dossier for years, released a statement celebrating the agreement and once again slamming the dossier as “a Hoax funded by the DNC and the Clinton Campaign.”

A DNC spokesperson played down the decision, saying: “We settled aging and silly complaints from the 2016 election about ‘purpose descriptions’ in our FEC report.” The lawyer representing both the campaign and the DNC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The letter was first reported by the Washington Examiner.

So the FEC levies a fine against the DNC and the 2016 Clinton Campaign for billing information regarding the Steele Dossier as "legal services" when it should have been billed as "opposition research" a billing error?

Meanwhile Ivanka and Jared made 650 million as government employees in the White House and not a peep from the repubs here.

He was duped and now doesn't want to admit it.  He also doesn't want to admit how he is pushing fake narratives.

Yeah, is that why they waited until after the election to release this information?  You are easily fooled.

There is a nasty fight brewing between the DNC, the Hillary campaign, the lawyer Sussman and the Durham investigation. A tug of war of sorts that involves client lawyer privilege on one side and the truth of who was calling the shots on the other. Could be a fault line between the DNC and Hillary. Middle of may it hits the courts.

Your excusing the corruption of our elections no matter who's in office it is all wrong and should be delta with according.

They knew what they were doing and they knew it was wrong. Just like Richard Nixon what he did was wrong FYI my Grandmother work for Nixon and Reagan and she was appalled with Nixon's actions and what he did.  I am still of the belief the we are still one nation under God.

That's the difference with today.  The liberal party and their voters believe they can to do whatever it takes to get them into power.  And most conservative voters are about integrity and doing what it takes to make this country great.  Your grandmother was APPALLED as she should have been.  Not today's liberal voter....but they don't seem to believe they should be US citizens either.  They sure don't care about the constitution as they try to circumvent what it says every chance they have.
