In fact, he was the first American to see it. He was at an annual security conference in Halifax right after the election, when a British diplomat gave the dossier to him. McCain read it and felt it needed to be investigated, so he turned it over to James Comey. The link sums up what McCain wrote in his book "The Restless Wave", where he described the whole timeline revolving around the dossier. It's pretty interesting. I'm sure the documentary will cover it, as well.
