Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) referred former CIA contractor Nellie Ohr for prosecution on the basis of several statements she made during her congressional testimony that Meadows called “demonstrably false.”

“Documents and information reviewed by our committees raise concerns Ms. Ohr knowingly provided false testimony in violation of 18 U.S.C. [Section] 1001,” the May 1 referral reads.

The Ohrs

Ohr was a major player in efforts to formulate the Trump–Russia collusion narrative in 2016, when she worked for Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that was paid by the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to deliver information that would be damaging to rival candidate Donald Trump.
