ABC News says Senate Intelligence Committee investigators have asked for and received documents from the estate of Peter W. Smith, a longtime Republican donor and GOP operative who detailed for the Wall Street Journal in May his campaign to obtain Hillary Clinton's deleted emails from Russian hackers:
Of interest to investigators, the sources told ABC News, are documents and electronic communications that could help determine whether Smith worked in concert with anyone from the campaign of then-candidate Donald Trump.

Smith passed away from what police ruled a suicide 10 days after he told his story.
