JEFF SESSIONS/JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump called Attorney General Jeff Sessions ‘scared stiff and Missing in Action’ on Saturday [8-11-18] in his latest broadside on Twitter against the nation’s top law enforcement officer. The attack on the attorney general came as Trump claimed the news media ‘refuses to report’ on meetings held between Christopher Steele, the ex-British intelligence officer who authored an opposition research dossier on Trump, and former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr. Ohr was demoted from his position in the deputy attorney general’s office after the discovery of certain meetings he held with Steele and the head of the opposition research firm that hired him to compile the dossier, Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, CNN reported last year, citing a source familiar with the matter. Ohr’s wife, Nellie Ohr, worked for Fusion GPS doing research and analysis on Trump, Simpson has disclosed…The Department of Justice declined to comment on the President’s tweets.”
