Related Graham Says Barrett Hearings Will Begin Oct. 12, Lays Out Rough Timeline

Stefan Halper, 76, was told to appear at the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington on Oct. 20.
Halper was told he would be answering questions about or related to Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s counter-intelligence investigation of Trump’s campaign; an investigation into that investigation by the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General; and the unmasking of U.S. persons or entities affiliated, formally or informally, with the Trump campaign, the Trump transition team, or the Trump administration.
Halper faces penalties if he refuses to appear.
A copy of the subpoena, issued by Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), was obtained and published by the Washington Examiner.
A spokesman for the committee didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Neither Halper nor his lawyer responded to requests for comment.
Johnson’s committee last month authorized him to subpoena 40 people involved in Crossfire Hurricane.
Johnson and other Republicans have argued that the probe was rife with malfeasance, pointing to the reliance on an unsubstantial dossier that relied on Russians to make outlandish claims about Trump.

Democrats opposed the subpoenas and say Republicans should focus on combating the COVID-19 pandemic.
Halper, a former University of Cambridge professor, was one of four spies the FBI used to target Trump’s campaign.
Halper was dismissed as an asset in 2011 because of questionable allegiance to people he was spying on and aggressiveness towards FBI agents, according to a 2019 report from the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General.
He was later brought back and got close to Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser who was illegally spied on by the FBI, as well as George Papadopoulos, another aide.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
