Embattled Justice Department official Bruce Ohr had
contact in 2016 with then-colleague Andrew Weissmann, who is now a top
Robert Mueller deputy, as well as other senior FBI officials about the
controversial anti-Trump dossier and the individuals behind it, two
sources close to the matter told Fox News.
The sources said Ohr's outreach about
the dossier – as well as its author, ex-British spy Christopher Steele;
the opposition research firm behind it, Glenn Simpson’s Fusion GPS; and
his wife Nellie Ohr's work for Fusion – occurred before and after the
FBI fired Steele as a source over his media contacts. Ohr's network of
contacts on the dossier included: former FBI agent Peter Strzok; former
FBI lawyer Lisa Page; former deputy director Andrew McCabe; Weissmann
and at least one other DOJ official; and a current FBI agent who worked
with Strzok on the Russia case.
