Lawyer Was Told Russia Had ‘Trump Over a Barrel’

Senior Justice Department lawyer Bruce Ohr says a former British spy told him at a breakfast meeting two years ago that Russian intelligence believed it had Donald Trump “over a barrel,” the AP reports.

Ohr “also says he learned that a Trump campaign aide had met with higher-level Russian officials than the aide had acknowledged.”

“The previously unreported details of the July 30, 2016, breakfast with Christopher Steele, which Ohr described to lawmakers this week in a private interview, reveal an exchange of potentially explosive information about Trump between two men the president has relentlessly sought to discredit.”
