ZitatBruce Ohr, the Department of Justice official who brought opposition research on Donald Trump to the FBI in 2016, did not disclose that the company that produced it at the Democratic National Committee’s behest was paying his wife, documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation show.
Ohr also did not obtain a conflict of interest waiver from his superiors at the Justice Department, according to the documents.
The omission may explain why Ohr was demoted from his post as associate deputy attorney general after the relationship between the company, Fusion GPS, and his wife emerged and after Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson acknowledged meeting with Ohr
