here is lou dobbs. lou: good evening. breaking news tonight, and it's big news. reports that it is the hillary clinton campaign and the democratic national committee who paid for research to smear then presidential candidate donald trump. let me repeat. the clinton campaign and the democratic national committee helped fund research that resulted in the discredited dossier against donald trump. the washington post reporting that an attorney who represents the clinton campaign and the dnc retained fusion gps to conduct the opposition research that resulted in the trump file. the now infamous dossier contained false allegations that russian government collected compromising information about mr. trump. and that the kremlin was engaged in an active effort to assist his campaign for president. if "the washington post" reporting is fully ground, it was paid for by clinton and the dnc. the shocking new development comes as three house republican committees are finally moving forward with investigations into the clinton web of corruption probing deeper into the money mac
