Overview

• The FBI’s 2019 internal analysis, declassified at Senator Grassley’s request, found that Fusion GPS researcher Nellie Ohr provided demonstrably false testimony about her role in the Trump-Russia investigation.
• Private emails reveal Ohr shared her opposition research with DOJ prosecutors and handed her husband, senior DOJ official Bruce Ohr, a thumb drive containing all her Fusion GPS files.
• The declassified report concludes Ohr may have helped draft portions of the Steele dossier, which became a foundation for the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane probe.
• Despite evidence of false statements under oath, the Justice Department opted not to pursue charges against Ohr, sparking accusations of political bias within the DOJ and FBI.
• Senator Grassley condemned the agencies’ inaction as undermining public trust in the rule of law and called for accountability over the handling of the criminal referral.
