President Trump has announced that he is seriously considering stripping demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr of his security clearance. Ohr’s wife worked for Fusion GPS, the firm behind the Trump dossier, and was hired to go after Trump.
According to Town Hall:
Speaking to reporters on the way to Marine One at the White House Friday morning, President Trump said he is prepared to strip demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr of his security clearance.
“Bruce Ohr is a disgrace. I will be taking it away very quickly,” Trump said, adding his wife also made him a disgrace.
Ohr used his position as associate deputy attorney general at the Obama Justice Department to go after Donald Trump’s run for the White House. His wife, Nellie Ohr, worked at Fusion GPS and was hired specifically to go after Trump. Fusion GPS is the research firm that produced the unverified dossier compiled by British spy Christopher Steele and was used by the FBI to spy on the Trump campaign.
Ohr was demoted last year when his connection to Fusion GPS and the dossier was revealed.
Trump also announced that he has no regrets on stripping former CIA director John Brennan of his security clearance. Clarifying that he had little to no respect for Brennan.
