Justice Department leaders didn't want Bruce Ohr interacting with White House after his contacts with Trump opposition research dossier author Christopher Steele became known, testimony says
Ohr was demoted in December 2017 from his position as an associate deputy attorney general in part because he did not tell the department soon enough about his contacts with Steele, an ex-British intelligence official. But Ohr told Congress he was later stripped of another title the next month, running a Justice Department organized crime task force, for a different reason that came from then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein: the White House.
Collins said Friday that the proposed DOJ redactions"have nothing to do with national security and are anathema to our goal of government transparency," and therefore he was releasing the transcript in full.
