Nellie Ohr met Chris Steele at Mayflower Hotel the day before FBI Trump-Russia investigation began
The meeting took place at the Mayflower Hotel, which was described by President Harry Truman as “Washington’s second-best address.” President John F. Kennedy once kept an apartment — and a mistress — there. In 2008, Governor Eliot Spitzer of New York used an assumed name to book room 871 and meet a prostitute.
A newly released congressional transcript reveals her research on connections between Russia and President Trump, the Trump family, and Trump associates while she worked at Fusion GPS. She declined to answer most questions about her husband, who served as an unofficial back channel between Steele and the FBI.
Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, went to the House floor to put the 137-page transcript from her October testimony in front of a joint session of the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees into the record.
“Thus far, I have released four transcripts of interviews related to apparent wrongdoing at the FBI and Justice Department. Today, I release the fifth. The American people deserve transparency. They deserve to know what transpired at the highest levels of the FBI and the origin of the probe into President Trump’s campaign,” Collins said.
The testimony focused heavily on her time with Fusion GPS and its relationship with the DOJ.
Nellie Ohr met with Steele three times, the last of which was on July 30, 2016, a day before the FBI initiated a counterintelligence investigation into links between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. It is believed that Peter Strzok signed the order that launched the inquiry.
That meeting took place at the Mayflower. Nellie Ohr said her husband Bruce Ohr was in attendance along with an unknown associate for Steele, whom she said he had a British accent. Bruce Ohr was formerly the associate deputy attorney general and director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. He was demoted after it came to light he met with Steele and Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson.
At this meeting, Nellie Ohr said she learned for the first time Steele also worked at Fusion GPS.
Ohr said she understood Steele was trying to convey to her husband his “concern” about his information regarding Trump, believed she saw at least one page of the so-called Trump dossier, and was hoping it would make its way to the FBI.
“My understanding was that Chris Steele was hoping that Bruce would put in a word with the FBI to follow-up on the information in some way,” she said when asked if words like “investigation” or “inquiry” was brought up during the discussion.

Nellie Ohr did extensive oppo research on Trump’s family members
Nellie Ohr, the wife of Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, did extensive opposition research on Trump family members and campaign aides while working for the firm behind the salacious anti-Trump dossier in 2016, according to a newly released transcript of her closed-door interview with Congress.
House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Doug Collins, R-Ga., on Thursday released nearly 200 pages of Ohr’s transcript from her interview before the panel last year. Her work with opposition research firm Fusion GPS was already known, but the documents offering additional details on the nature of that research are now public.
“I was asked to research Trump’s family broadly in connection with any—any Russian connections,” Ohr stated, adding that she “did some research on all of them, but not in much depth.”
Ohr explained that she researched Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, specifically their “travels.” She added that she was looking “to see whether they were involved in dealings and transactions with people who had suspicious pasts, or suspicious types of dealings.”
Ohr also testified that she was asked to research members of the campaign including former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former campaign aide Carter Page and former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
