Former MI6 operative Christopher Steele, the author of the infamous dossier of unverified claims about the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, was worried about then-FBI Director James Comey’s congressional testimony in March 2017, according to text messages between Steele and Justice Department official Bruce Ohr.

As Comey was about to testify about the FBI counterintelligence probe into the Trump campaign and Steele, the former British spy was hoping “important firewalls will hold”—apparently worried about what Comey might say. The texts were obtained by SaraACarter.com from an unnamed government source “familiar with the ongoing investigation.”
