The reason this is all hitting the news big-time now is because Fusion GPS - the main player in the whole deal - has to produce its banking records (who paid exactly what, exactly when) to the US House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on Monday. Then, sometime later next week, the FBI has to start testifying to the same Committee regarding its role in this highly politicized drama.
There're two separate chapters to this story. The first began in October 2015 when Republican-partisan website the Washington Free Beacon retained Fusion GPS to do political opposition research on Republicans running for that Party's presidential nomination in the last election. The WFB was founded as a non-profit with never-Trumper Bill Kristol among its original backers; it's now a for-profit with "GOP mega-donor [and never-Trumper] Paul Singer" allegedly funding it. Singer supported Marc Rubio for the Republican nomination. After Ted Cruz dropped out of the race on May 3, with John Kasich dropping out the next day and leaving Trump as the obvious GOP nominee, the Washington Free Beacon ended its retainer with Fusion GPS.
But the second stage - The Dossier Chapter - of this story had already started writing itself a month earlier when Fusion GPS began shopping its Trump-specific research to the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, who were already aware by then that Trump was the most likely GOP nominee. The first $ payments from the Clinton campaign/DNC to Fusion GPS began in April 2016 specifically to dig up political dirt on Trump.
Hardly a month after Trump had the GOP nomination in the bag, Fusion GPS then hired Orbis Business Intelligence (a British company) to begin compiling what we now know as "the dossier", which was to focus squarely on Trump ties to Russia. This is the beginning of "Russiagate", its dossier steered by Orbis' owner and ex-MI-6 Russia desk boss Christopher Steele, a foreign agent who then compensated other foreign agents, many employed by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (spies). Within a month, Steele produced and then began shopping the dossier's main conclusion: that Trump had been compromised by Russia and was highly susceptible to blackmail by them. And thus, "Russiagate" began.
The real thing about this dossier is that, even though it was compiled in less than a month from highly dubious sources with their own unique political reasons for participating, the dossier was deemed credible enough that the Obama Justice Department, the FBI, and the so-called "intelligence" community began acting on it as the justifiable source to obtain surveillance warrants to begin spying on American citizens, with the Republican Party nominee for President of the United States of America as their main target.
Byron York of the Washington Examiner is a good reporter to follow to keep up on what's going down with this humongous story, and The Daily Caller's Chuck Ross put together this timeline today to provide a general encapsulation:

The gist: Democrats employed foreign agents to intentionally produce from other foreign agents negative information about the Republican presidential nominee, and then the Democrat Obama administration ordered the full federal investigation of that Republican presidential nominee on no other evidence but the now infamous dossier compiled totally by foreign agents, containing reports from Russian foreign/enemy agents.
Isn't it ironic that the entire scam was to indict Trump for colluding with the Russians when it was Hillary Clinton and the entire Democratic Party apparatus - including the sitting Democratic President - who colluded with Russian spies to base their entire sham upon?
