Judicial Watch today released 330 pages of Justice Department documents showing Bruce Ohr, who was demoted from his position as U.S. Associate Deputy Attorney General in December 2017, discussing information obtained through his wife Nellie Ohr.
FBI interview reports from December 5 and December 12, and December 20, 2017, show that Bruce Ohr "Voluntarily" gave these anti-Trump and Manafort materials, created for the Clinton campaign by Fusion GPS, to the FBI. On January 25, 2017, Bruce Ohr's wife, Nellie Ohr, forwarded text messages to him that she'd sent to her "Colleagues," where she refers to the Steele dossier as the "Yellow rain dossier" and the "Yellow showers dossier."
"These documents show a crazed DOJ-FBI effort to use the Clinton spy ring at Fusion GPS, namely Nellie Ohr, to smear President Trump - even before he was sworn in as president," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Judicial Watch obtained the records through its August 2018 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed against the Justice Department after it failed to respond to a May 29, 2018, FOIA request about and with Fusion GPS officials, Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele.
In April, Judicial Watch received documents showing that Bruce Ohr in his January 2018 preparation to testify to the Senate and House intelligence committees wrote to a lawyer about "Possible ethics concerns." Bruce Ohr forwarded the email to Nellie Ohr, who had been hired by Fusion GPS, the Hillary Clinton campaign-Democratic National Committee vendor who compiled the anti-Trump dossier.
Judicial Watch also uncovered emails from Bruce Ohr showing that former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr remained in regular contact with former British spy and Fusion GPS contractor Christopher Steele after Steele was terminated by the FBI in November 2016 for revealing to the media his position as an FBI confidential informant.
Judicial Watch had previously uncovered an email revealing that Nellie Ohr informed Bruce that she was deleting emails sent from his DOJ email account.
