Nellie Ohr and Fusion GPS Communication Allegations
New reports allege that Nellie Ohr, a former contractor for Fusion GPS, was in constant communication with her husband, Bruce Ohr, and other Justice Department officials regarding the Steele Dossier. The communications reportedly included sending news reports in Russian to smear Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign. Critics argue that Nellie Ohr may have been one of the most significant hires in the effort to delegitimize the Trump presidency.
Bruce Ohr Testimony and Christopher Steele Dossier
Congressman Jim Jordan discussed the closed-door testimony of Justice Department official Bruce Ohr regarding his contacts with Christopher Steele. Ohr reportedly admitted to knowing about Steele's bias against Donald Trump while funneling information from Fusion GPS to the FBI. Critics argue these facts were not disclosed to the FISA court when obtaining warrants to monitor Carter Page and the Trump campaign.
Congressional leaders are calling for the public release of FISA applications used to surveil the Trump campaign. Meanwhile, Justice Department official Bruce Ohr has been demoted twice following revelations of his meetings with Christopher Steele and his wife Nellie Ohr's employment at Fusion GPS.
