HOSTILE TRUMP DOSSIER WITNESSES: Nellie Ohr, who worked as a contractor for the firm behind the anti-Trump dossier and whose Justice Department husband became a backchannel for passing along that information, has refused multiple requests to appear voluntarily before House committees, Fox News has learned ... Former FBI general counsel James Baker also has refused similar requests. With lawmakers unable to secure a commitment to appear from Nellie Ohr or Baker, a Republican House Judiciary Committee aide indicated subpoenas are an option to "compel" their testimony.
Investigators want to hear specifically from Nellie Ohr, as she worked as a contractor for the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which was behind the dossier, and did Russia research. Congressional Republicans argue that the dossier was improperly used to help secure a surveillance warrant for then-Trump campaign aide Carter Page. The House Judiciary and Oversight committees have spoken to numerous other witnesses, including Nellie’s husband Bruce Ohr, as part of their joint investigation into actions taken by DOJ during the Hillary Clinton email and Russia investigations.
