Embracing Conspiracy Theory, Trump Escalates Attack on Bruce Ohr

President Trump on Friday attacked Bruce Ohr, a little-known Justice Department official, calling him “a disgrace” and threatening to revoke his security clearance “very soon.”

Mr. Ohr, a career official who has worked on antidrug and anti-gang initiatives at the department, has been targeted by conservative conspiracy theorists who say he helped start the investigation into Russian election interference. Mr. Ohr’s wife was at one time a contractor for Fusion GPS, which participated in compiling a dossier about Mr. Trump during the 2016 campaign.

Mr. Trump has embraced the conspiracy theory, casting Mr. Ohr and his wife, Nellie, as central players in what he calls the “rigged witch hunt” and accusing the couple of having what he claims are indirect contacts with Russians — apparently a reference to Christopher Steele, the British spy who compiled the dossier with the help of Russian sources.

“They should be looking at Bruce Ohr, and his wife, Nellie, for dealing with, by the way, indirectly, Russians,” Mr. Trump said as he boarded Marine One for a fund-raising trip to the Hamptons. Asked about Mr. Ohr’s security clearance, Mr. Trump added: “I think Bruce Ohr is a disgrace. I suspect I will be taking it away very quickly.”
