Christopher Steele and Roger Hearing discuss Donald Trump’s relationship with Russia and Vladimir Putin.
Has the Kremlin taken control of the White House?
Former MI6 intelligence officer Christopher Steele reveals just how drastically the world has changed in Trump’s second term as President. Alliances have weakened, great-power competition intensified, and authoritarian states are growing bolder. Drawing on decades of experience tracking the Kremlin’s strategy, Steele outlines the future of the war in Ukraine, the future of Europe, and the heightened role intelligence agencies like the CIA and MI6 play today.
Christopher Steele is a former MI6 officer who ran the Russia desk from 2006 to 2009 and later compiled the “”Steele dossier””—alleging ties between Donald Trump and Russia that ignited one of the most consequential political controversies of our time.
