WASHINGTON—Department of Justice (DOJ) documents released on Aug. 14 by Judicial Watch included an email in which then-Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr agreed to connect a top government intelligence adviser on organized crime and racketeering with his wife to discuss a case.
Nellie Ohr, a former CIA open-source researcher and Russia expert, worked for Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm hired by Perkins Coie, a Washington law firm, on behalf of former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
