A nonprofit group linked to Fusion GPS and partially funded by George Soros worked in recent months with a technology company implicated in a scheme to use fake Russian bots during Alabama\u2019s special Senate election.<\/p>\n

The groups, the Democracy Integrity Project (TDIP) and New Knowledge, partnered before the 2018 midterms to track alleged Russian disinformation networks, a website the organizations collaboratively run shows.<\/p>\n

Both organizations have links to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI),\u00a0which is investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election, as well as possible Trump campaign collusion.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>SSCI provided New Knowledge with data from various social media companies as part of an investigation into Russian disinformation networks, according to a report New Knowledge released Dec. 17. Two days later, news broke that New Knowledge\u2019s chief executive was involved in\u00a0a self-described \u201cfalse flag\u201d operation in the special election for a Senate seat in Alabama, as was another staffer who was the lead author on the Senate report.<\/p>\n

TDIP is also linked to the Senate Intelligence panel. Its founder,\u00a0Daniel J. Jones<\/a>, was previously a staffer for Democrats on SSCI. He was also in contact in early 2017 with Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the Democratic vice chairman of SSCI. As part of TDIP\u2019s own Trump-Russia investigation, the group hired Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, the author of the anti-Trump dossier.<\/p>\n

The extent of Warner\u2019s contacts with Jones remain unclear.<\/p>\n

The collaboration between TDIP and New Knowledge, which has not been previously reported, involved a dashboard set up at the site,\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
