Christopher Steele Told DOJ's Bruce Ohr He Was ‘Afraid They Will Be Exposed' After Comey's Firing

Dossier author Christopher Steele told Justice Department official Bruce Ohr after James Comey's firing last year that he was "Afraid they will be exposed."

What exactly Steele was concerned about having exposed after Comey's May 9, 2017 firing is not made clear in Ohr's notes, which were reported by Fox News.

Steele told Ohr in a May 10, 2017 phone call that he was "Very concerned abt Comey's firing - afraid they will be exposed," according to Fox.

Justice Department documents given to Congress show that Steele and Ohr were in contact all throughout 2016 and 2017, though Ohr's involvement was not revealed until December.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who was Ohr's boss, has told Congress that he was not aware of Ohr's contacts with Steele or Simpson.

Steele first reached out to Ohr in January 2016 seeking help for a Russian oligarch named Oleg Deripaska.

Ohr provided a dozen briefings to the FBI from November 2016 to May 2017 about his interactions with Steele.
