Simpson made a jarring revelation in his House testimony. He disclosed for the first time that he met just after the election with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr.
Ohr was demoted from his position as deputy assistant attorney general last month after his meeting with Simpson was disclosed. He also met with Steele prior to the election.
During his interview, Simpson said that at some point during his Trump investigation, he “was asked to provide some information to the Justice Department.”
Asked by who, Simpson said he was contacted “by a prosecutor named Bruce Ohr, who was following up.”
Simpson said that he met Ohr at a coffee shop sometime after Thanksgiving. Ohr had been in touch prior to the election with Steele.
“[Steele] had told Bruce about what happened, and that Bruce wanted more information, and suggested that I speak with Bruce,” said Simpson.

“And so Chris suggested I give some information to Bruce, give him the background to all this. And we eventually met at a coffee shop, and I told him the story,” he added.
Aside from their own personal connection, Ohr’s wife, Nellie, was working at Fusion GPS - a connection Trump and his allies have seized on as they allege anti-Trump bias in the department.

The House Intelligence Committee on Thursday released an interview members had this fall with Glenn Simpson, honcho of Fusion GPS. Much of the questioning involves how, and for whom, the firm commissioned the controversial Trump “dossier” compiled for Fusion by former British spy Christopher Steele.
Many questions focused on how the dossier had been spread to media and the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement communities. For long stretches of the interview, Simpson is eager to list dozens of Russian mobsters and their alleged web of ties to team Trump.
What he is much less eager to detail are questionable ties between Fusion and federal officials.
