Ex-British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, who authored the unverified dossier charging collusion between Russia and Donald Trump, still believes former Trump attorney Michael Cohen held secret meetings in Prague despite the Justice Department not substantiating the claim.

The dossier alleged Cohen had "secret meeting/s with Kremlin officials in August 2016" in Prague.

ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos sat down with Steele for a special, "Out of the Shadows: The Man behind the Steele Dossier," and asked him about Cohen directly. .

"One big claim the dossier, the FBI, according to the Inspector General’s report … is not true, is the claim that Michael Cohen had a meeting with Russians in Prague," Stephanopoulos said.

Michael Cohen, former attorney to President Donald Trump, has long denied claims he meeting with Russians in Prague.

"Michael Cohen has completely turned on Donald Trump

"I am prepared to accept that not everything in the dossier is 100 percent accurate, I have yet to be convinced that that is one of them," Steele said. 

The questions surrounding Cohen’s alleged travel to Prague come from the dossier, which was published in January 2017 by BuzzFeed News, detailing salacious and unfounded allegations against Trump

In August 2017, Cohen denied the allegations made in the dossier, calling them "totally false." Cohen’s attorney said Cohen "never traveled to Prague, Czech Republic, as evidenced by his passport" and "did not participate in meetings with Kremlin officials in Prague in August 2016."

Former British spy Christopher Steele's unverified dossier was a major element in warrant applications the FBI filled out to spy on Trump associate Carter Page
