Judicial Watch Releases Email Exchange Between State Department Official and
Bruce Ohr Targeting Trump with Steele Dossier Material


Ohr: ‘I really hope we can get something going here.’


(Washington, DC)- Judicial Watch today released
<https://myjw.pr.judicialwatch.org/wta/link.php?AGENCY=jw&M=46921&N=36557&L=
13886&F=H> four pages of documents from the U.S. Department of Justice
showing a conversation between former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State
for the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs Kathleen Kavalec and former
Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, discussing the targeting of
Donald Trump with Steele dossier material.

In discussing a meeting with the potential source for a Mother Jones article
accusing the Trump campaign of taking money from a Russian oil magnate, as
well as Christopher Steele’s connection to that source, Kavalec emails Ohr
citing the accusatory Mother Jones article. Ohr says, “I really hope we can
get something going here.”

Judicial Watch obtained the records through its August 2018 Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA)
<https://myjw.pr.judicialwatch.org/wta/link.php?AGENCY=jw&M=46921&N=36557&L=
9300&F=H> lawsuit filed against the Justice Department after it failed to
respond to a May 29, 2018, FOIA request  (
<https://myjw.pr.judicialwatch.org/wta/link.php?AGENCY=jw&M=46921&N=36557&L=
9241&F=H> Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-01854)).
Judicial Watch seeks:

*       All records from the Office of the Deputy Attorney General relating
to Fusion GPS, Nellie Ohr and/or British national Christopher Steele,
including but not limited to all records of communications about and with
Fusion GPS officials, Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele.
*       All records from the office of former Associate Deputy Attorney
General Bruce G. Ohr relating to Fusion GPS, Nellie Ohr and/or British
national Christopher Steele, including but not limited to all records of
communications (including those of former Associate Deputy Attorney General
Ohr) about and with Fusion GPS officials, Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele.
*       All records from the office of the Director of the Organized Crime
Drug Enforcement Task Force relating to Fusion GPS, Nellie Ohr and/or
British national Christopher Steele, including but not limited to all
records of communications (including those of former Organized Crime Task
Force Director Bruce Ohr) about and with Fusion GPS officials, Nellie Ohr
and Christopher Steele.

In a November 21, 2016, email exchange Kavalec thanks Bruce Ohr for “coming
by” to discuss the work of the OCDETF (Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task
Force). Kavalec provides Ohr with links to
<https://myjw.pr.judicialwatch.org/wta/link.php?AGENCY=jw&M=46921&N=36557&L=
13887&F=H> Mother Jones and
<https://myjw.pr.judicialwatch.org/wta/link.php?AGENCY=jw&M=46921&N=36557&L=
13888&F=H> Open Secrets articles that suggest a Russian oil magnate gave
money to Trump’s campaign. Ohr responds, “I really hope we can get something
going here.… We will take another look at this.”

Kavalec then replies to Ohr, saying that she had just reviewed the notes
from her October 2016 meeting with Steele stating, “I see Chris [Steele] and
[Simon] Kukes has [sic] some connection to Serge Millian.” Millian is a
<https://myjw.pr.judicialwatch.org/wta/link.php?AGENCY=jw&M=46921&N=36557&L=
13889&F=H> Russian businessman who was an alleged source for the anti-Trump
dossier. He developed a relationship with Trump campaign aide George
Papadopoulos in 2016.

Kavalec recently came to national attention when her notes from her October
11, 2016, meeting with Dossier author Steele
<https://myjw.pr.judicialwatch.org/wta/link.php?AGENCY=jw&M=46921&N=36557&L=
13890&F=H> were revealed. In her notes, Kavalec said Steele told her of “a
technical/human operation run out of Moscow targeting the election.” In
Kavalec’s notes, she disputes some of the details asserted by
Steele—indicating these were both researched, and disproven. Kavalec
<https://myjw.pr.judicialwatch.org/wta/link.php?AGENCY=jw&M=46921&N=36557&L=
13891&F=H> reported her findings directly to the FBI.

“These documents are a shocking example of the Deep State plotting against
President Trump – just weeks after he was elected,” said Judicial Watch
President Tom Fitton. “There’s now no doubt that Bruce Ohr and the Obama
State Department were working the Clinton gang to target President Trump.”

Recently, Judicial Watch
<https://myjw.pr.judicialwatch.org/wta/link.php?AGENCY=jw&M=46921&N=36557&L=
12703&F=H> uncovered emails from Bruce Ohr showing that former Associate
Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr remained in regular contact with former
British spy and Fusion GPS contractor Christopher Steele after Steele
<https://myjw.pr.judicialwatch.org/wta/link.php?AGENCY=jw&M=46921&N=36557&L=
9132&F=H> was terminated by the FBI in November 2016 for revealing to the
media his position as an FBI confidential informant.
