Overview

• Declassified FBI records from 2019 show Fusion GPS contractor Nellie Ohr provided demonstrably false testimony to Congress about her role in the Trump-Russia collusion investigation.
• The files reveal she denied sharing her Fusion GPS research and contributions to the Steele dossier with DOJ prosecutors, her husband Bruce Ohr, or MI6 source Christopher Steele despite sending them emails and a thumb drive.
• A September 2019 FBI analysis found probable cause that Bruce and Nellie Ohr coordinated their research to advance the Crossfire Hurricane inquiry.
• FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche approved declassification of the documents following Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley’s request.
• Bruce Ohr was demoted twice and resigned in October 2020 after an inspector general referral flagged his role in transmitting his wife’s research to the bureau.
