Report DOJ Official’s Wife Did Opposition Research on Trump

DOJ Official Bruce Ohr’s wife worked for the dossier firm Fusion GPS and apparently as part of her work she investigated Trump’s children. This new information weaves an even more tangled web.

According to The Daily Caller:

The wife of a Justice Department official who worked for Fusion GPS during the 2016 campaign told Congress in 2018 that one of her tasks at the opposition research firm was to research President Donald Trump’s children, including their business activities and travel.

Nellie Ohr, a former contractor for Fusion GPS, also told lawmakers during an Oct. 19 deposition that she recalls that Christopher Steele gave her husband, Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, materials from the infamous anti-Trump dossier funded by Democrats.

Ohr said during the testimony that Steele, who like her was a contractor for Fusion GPS, hoped that her husband would pass the materials to the FBI.

“My understanding was that Chris Steele was hoping that Bruce could put in a word with the FBI to follow up in some way,” Ohr testified to members of the House Oversight and House Judiciary Committees, according to transcripts confirmed by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

This is important because Bruce Ohr was involved in whether or not the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. The opportunity for bias here is incredible.
