Fox News is reporting, based on inside sources, that Glenn Simpson’s closed-door session lasted for several hours Tuesday and involved a handover of more than 40,000 documents; further details have not yet been released.

The 35-page document includes various claims as well as possible evidence of collusion between Trump campaign officials and Russia.
