A pro-Trump opposition researcher who worked with the late GOP operative Peter Smith may have sparked the communications between Donald Trump Jr. and the self-proclaimed transparency organization WikiLeaks, Business Insider reports.

Johnson worked with former Republican operative Peter Smith, who killed himself in a Minnesota hotel room days after disclosing to the Wall Street Journal details about his hunt for emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server. Smith had told the Journal he believed Russian hackers were in possession of copies of those correspondence. He also suggested he has connections to Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
WikiLeaks subsequently released troves of emails from former Clinton campaign manager John Podesta, and, according to emails between the organization and Trump Jr., worked to smear Clinton in an effort to help Trump win the presidency.
In July, Johnson was asked to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
