“As President Trump has threatened to take away the security clearance of Bruce Ohr, a career Justice Department official, he has described him as a ‘creep,’ accused him of profiting off ‘disgraced’ information and wondered aloud why he still works in the executive branch,” the New York Times reports.
“But Mr. Ohr is far from corrupt, friends and former colleagues said. An experienced law enforcement official who spent years battling Russian organized crime, he developed a deep understanding of that dangerous underworld, they said, including raising concerns about at least one oligarch whose name has resurfaced amid the scrutiny of contacts between Trump associates and Russia.”
