Rep. Gaetz Demands Answers From Deputy AG Rosentein on Bias at FBI
(CNSNews.com) -- Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who serves on the House Judiciary Committee -- which has oversight of the Justice Department and the FBI -- sent a letter this week to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein demanding that he provide answers that he promised to provide at a hearing last week about apparent bias and conflicts of interest at the DOJ and the FBI.
Gaetz particularly is seeking details about the DOJ's handling of the so-called Trump-Russia "dossier," which was partly paid for by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee through the opposition research firm Fusion GPS and to British ex-spy Christopher Steele.
When he was FBI director, James Comey described the dossier as "salacious and unverified." However, it has been learned that Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce J. Ohr, in campaign year 2016, met with Christopher Steele. Ohr also met with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson. Further, it was discovered that Ohr's wife, Nellie Ohr, works for Fusion GPS.
