Nellie Ohr, the wife of high-ranking DOJ official Bruce Ohr, was hired by Fusion GPS to work on the dossier on Trump.
I call Nellie Ohr “the woman in the middle.” Holding a doctorate in Soviet history, Ohr worked for Glenn Simpson’s Fusion GPS as it was creating what is known as the “Steele dossier” of uncorroborated allegations of Trump-Russia collusion. She is married to Bruce Ohr, a senior Justice Department official whose involvement in the “dossier” affair—including contacts with the dossier’s eponym, Christopher Steele, a retired British intelligence agent—led to his 2017 demotion. Nellie Ohr is expected to appear for the first time before the House Judiciary Committee on Oct. 19.
