The ex-official suggested that had all members of Trump team approached by Russia gone to the FBI in real time, further developments could have been totally different.
Former Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland told CBS's "Face The Nation" on Sunday that British spy Christopher Steele, author of the infamous Trump-Russia dossier sold to the FBI and DNC, shared similar information with the State Department in 2016.
"During the Ukraine crisis in 2014-15, Chris Steele had a number of commercial clients who were asking him for reports on what was going on in Russia, what was going on in Ukraine, what was going on between them," she said, according to RealClearPolitics.
"Chris had a friend at the State Department and he offered us that reporting free so that we could also benefit from it. It was one of, you know, hundreds of sources that we were using to try to understand what was going on."
