Скачать или смотреть Republican lawmakers query Bruce Ohr on Capitol Hill

(28 Aug 2018) Bruce Ohr was a relatively anonymous lawyer at the Justice Department for more than 25 years. But he's now caught up in a Republican maelstrom of criticism toward the department, with some of President Donald Trump's allies implying that he helped conspire against Trump's election.
  
Two GOP-led House committees are interviewing Ohr behind closed doors Tuesday as part of an investigation into decisions made by the department in 2016. They are interested in Ohr - who has also been the subject of Trump's angry tweets - because of his relationship with Christopher Steele, the former British spy whose opposition research on Trump's Russia ties was compiled into a dossier and turned over to the FBI.
  
At least seven Republican House members traveled to Washington for the interview, which is being held during the House's August recess. No Democratic lawmakers appeared to attend, though staffers are in the room.
