ohr. >> bruce and nellie ohr are the bonnie and clyde of collusion. >> so far every indictment is unrelated to the president. >> reporter: foreign money traced to the trump inauguration fund and another guilty plea produced by the mueller probe, and donald trump's emergency visit to texas to help ted cruz. >> i call him lying ted. >> "all in" starts right now. >> donald, you're a sniveling coward. >> good evening, i'm chris says. there's a reason the president of the united states has been waging an all out public war against an obscure career civil servant -- because that civil servant reportedly had information in the summer of 2016 that russian intelligence believed "they had trump over a barrel." unless you watch fox news, you probably don't know anything about him. ohr spent a decades long career at doj prosecuting violent gangs and organized crime, developing a special focus on russian organized crime. and for those years since he first became a prosecutor 27 years ago, ohr was basically just a guy who went to work everyday doing his job investigating some pretty dangerous people on b

sidney powell, let's go back to the ohr testimony.e looking to discredit the mueller investigation, the stuff ohr was saying about weissmann and others added to that fire. >> definitely. there is plenty to discredit the investigation with. mr. ohr was working behind the scenes with his wife nellie at fusion gps. and james comey's fbi allowing unfettered access to raw fisa data that was impermissible. there was a decision of the fisa court half live redacted but disclosed that indicates comey's fbi gave several private contractors raw access to the fisa information. i think one of those people or entities will be fusion gps. so you have ohr working with weissmann who always stays in' touch with robert mueller. they go back 20 years at least. david: his wife was working for fusion gps which apparently he did not disguise. which makes it even more extraordinary that andrew weissmann is still working on the mueller team, and i wonder if there are others work for mr. mueller who were just as much a part of this cabal. >> i would suspect th

ohr wrote that costs and that ohr wrote that donald trump never being president.ce ohr knew of the dossier was bias, would never hold up in court. he knew it was tainted, he knew it was not verified or corroborated, and yet he pushed that information into the grateful hands of peter strzok and even the people himself, andrew weissmann. start with hillary clinton, her campaign funded it. it gets to a foreign spy, foreignn agent. he hates trump. gets phony russian information. it's disseminated to you, the american people, and it gets worse from there. none of this should happen in america.a. you have a political campaign, the doj working together, coordinating their efforts, literally to stop one candidate over another candidate. this is a humiliating smear on the country's justice. it gets worse because the phony, political, dirty russian dossier that he paid for, never verified, was used as the very basis for fisa warrants to spy on a trump campaign associate. jim comey side off on the fisa request, sally yates, rod rosenstein, andrew mccabe, all signed off on it

no one has produced any shred of evidence that ohr did something wrong. nevertheless, he is the key villain in a far right experience theory claiming the russia probe was made up oust thin air and it centers on ohr's relationship with christopher steel who composed. >> his wife nelly hired steel to investigate then candidate trump. that firm was conducting research on behalf of republicans and then on democrats. bruce ohr first met steel over a decade ago when they were both in the business of investigating russian corruption and organized crime. he was the that steel contacted when he started hearing troubling information about a candidate for president. we are learning for the first time about what steel told bruce ohr over a breakfast meeting on july 30, 2016. in a congressional interview earlier this week, he said he learned from steel that an unnamed official communicated that russian intelligence believed they had trump over a barrel. russian intelligence believed they had trump over a barrel. three months before the election while he was running to

ohr works. both times staffed with career people, and honestly it would bring tears to your eyes to see how nonpolitical these folks are day in and day out. it was incredibly inspiring to me. to have the president say this kind of stuff, you know, yes, it's a theme on "homeland" the tv show but it's something you wouldn't expect in america. it's something chavez did in venezuela, it's something erdogan did in turkey, but this is not the american government, at least since 1883. >> it's not a violation of the law because he still has his job, though were he to be fired it seems like he might have a case. >> a great case. >> i think he's got a pretty good case at this point. but even if he's not fired, what effect does this have on how people do their job? this is the most powerful person in the world. you're just a random dude who works at the justice department. you go about your life. you are now on tv every night. the president is tweeting about you. that's got to have some effect on other peo

they knew ohr's involvement. they knew the guy who wrote it, christopher steele, had told bruce ohr that was desperate to stop trump. we don't believe they conveyed any of that critical information to the f fisa court. that's why this is so important that we get it. they knew this up front when it started late july, early august. that's why it's so critical that this information become public. >> sean: you've got page, strzok, ohr, mccabe, you got the whole insurance policy. it >>'s almost like you've got the board of directors together. >> sean: but they all hate trump. one thing in common, they all hate donald trump. >> andrew weissman as well. >> sean: you're right. let me say one more thing. 'cause ohr is hearing from christopher steele over contacts. not only are they talking ab fire walls, not wanting to be exposed. but, oh, did you get my stuff to the special counsel, which the contact was andrew weissman. >> sean, to put a finer point on what jim said, it's not the statements or words in these documents,

but also, the investigative work of bruce ohr.en bruce ohr's expertise and his past work in the justice department, are you at all concerned? i certainly am intrigued myself as to why they're singling him out in way that i'm expecting to be designed to destroy his career. >> well, you know, a couple things. number one, there is a reason why police and public officials don't typically talk about what's happening inside an investigation, because inside an investigation, you have law enforcement people, policemen, fbi agents doing things like following hunches and getting to dead ends. until you're actually ready to go to court, nothing's ready so that's why if you just sort of start pell-mell releasing papers you could create an impression that is not true. but i got to tell you, rachel, this is infuriating, right? bruce ohr, by all accounts, and by the way, at some point i hope they release his testimony, because i heard that his testimony last week actually completely rebutted the notion that he was doing anything untoward. but br

steele and bruce ohr had a number of meetings. we now know that ohr was told by steele that the russians thought they had trump over a barrel. does it surprise you that ohr didn't go back and tell his superiors at the department of justice what he was learning? >> so i don't think we know enough about that exchange right now to make a fair assessment on what bruce ohr was or was not doing. he had a history of being involved and investigating russian organized crime. that's how he first met christopher steele. he was serving as that conduit, possibly for the government to provide this information. what i'm frayed of if we continue to chase these lines from the president where he tries to attack people, undermine their credibility, we're going to lose the forest for the trees here. i think the main focus as we talk about christopher steele is people are trying to make him out to be this boogieman, that he is some partisan who is going to campaign to destroy the president when we stop and think about who he is, this is a former or re

ohr engaged with mr.e has provided the president's allies fresh fodder to attack the investigation led by robert mueller the special counsel casting it as part of vast long-running conspiracy by a deep state bent on undermining mr. trump. we still don't know the end result of robert mueller's investigation, the thinking is that he has about a week left to issue some kind of a conclusion, otherwise he gets into the 60 day window ahead of the midterm elections and the justice department typically doesn't like to do that. but that's not written in stone, is it? >> nothing is written in stone. and nothing really has come to play that way in terms of this investigation. the special counsel has indicated he's going to take this as far as he would like to go. every indication currently seems to be that the investigation will not end by september 7th. we have not yet seen any subpoena or interview by the president. as i understand it, the president has not heard -- the president's legal team has not heard from mr

does this shine a light on why the president takes such an interest in bruce ohr? >> the president has attacked people who have spent years focusing on russian organized crime. i don't know whether that's the case here in terms of that's why bruce ohr has become the target of trump. but it is clear that if you discredit bruce ohr and if you discredit chris steele in the mind of donald trump, you can discredit the origins of the mueller investigation. that's why we're seeing these lines of attack being used so frequently. >> eric tucker with that new reporting, ken dilanian, thank you very much, we appreciate it. >>> coming up, we're minutes away from rudy giuliani's so-called deadline for the mueller team. what happens next? when "the 11th hour" continues. oh! oh! ♪ ozempic®! ♪ (vo) people with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of once-weekly ozempic®. in a study with ozempic®, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than seven and maintained it. oh! under seven?

bruce ohr was one of the u.s. officials in 2006 who figured out a way to ban a powerful putin-linked oligarch named oleg deripaska from entering the united states. they banned him from getting a visa based on his alleged ties to russian organized crime, and based on fears that deripaska might be coming to the u.s. specifically to launder russian mob money into u.s. real estate. that was 2006. that's when they blocked him from coming to the u.s. 2006. around the time that oleg deripaska was doing lots of business with trump campaign chair paul manafort overseas, was right around the time the ap reports that paul manafort entered into a $10 million a year contract with oleg deripaska to promote the interests of russian president vladimir putin and his government. well we have since learned from further "new york times" reporting that almost a decade later, almost a decade after bruce ohr as the senior justice department official working on russian organized crime, nearly a decade after he participated in this u.s. e

josh, in terms of bruce ohr, we know steele and bruce ohr had a number of meetings. we know that ohr was told by steele that the russians had trump over a barrel. does this surprise you that ohr did not go back and tell his superior of what he was learning. >> we don't know of that exchange right now to make a fair assessment. he had a history of being involved in investigating russian organized crimes. he was serving for the government to provide the information. what i am afraid that if we continue to chase these lines from the president where he tries to attack team. the main focus as we talk about steele is people are trying to make him out to be this boogy man that he's going to campaign to destroy the president. what i think is important is we stop and think who he is. this is a former and retired officer with the british security service who was retired and was investigating on behalf of the client, whether or not donald trump had connections with the kremlin. he took that information and he was so concerned of what he found that he first took it through the f

this is essentially what bruce ohr did.ng information about the steele dossier to fbi officials. that's what he's supposed to do. he's a law enforcement agent. he did nothing wrong and i don't understand why the president keeps tweeting about him. >> why, sir, do you think house republicans are dragging their feet on this? do you think they are complicit on this in any way? >> they have been complicit for a year and a half. house republicans are now facing a major crisis with the mid terms coming up. their approval ratings are at one of the lowest times ever. it's because they have not stood up to the corruption that's in the trump administration. really what they have been doing is holding hearings on hillary clinton's e-mails. that's where they are. they are completely out of touch with what most of the american public wants to have done. >> we're going to have more about this story. i want to switch gears quickly and ask you about michael cohen. the president was asked about payments to stormy daniels in a new interview.

and you have bruce ohr bruce ohr, once the fourth highest ranking official in the doj, feeding the dirtyussian dossier to the man that would then go on to be mueller's pitbull. and remember the exchanges between steele and bruce ohr. i hope the firewall holds. oh, and yeah, did the special counsel get your messages? so was andrew weissmann colluding? was he conspiring? why didn't robert mueller tell the american people about the context with bruce ohr and christopher steele, and why do we have to figure it out? catherine herridge did and we also know that and unearthed handwritten note from bruce ohr after the election, let's see, listing peter strzok, lisa page, and other fbi agent, reading no prosecution yet, push the case ahead on m, which is paul manafort, go back to chris, which is steele. and that's what they believe it means, paul manafort is m, christopher steele is christopher steele. and against what is unfolding here. taxes and et cetera, finally tonight, one sign, the molar investigation could be drawing to a right. we will will talk to jay sekulow. the special counsel will r

and we may have a new person ohr and steele have said that they believe that candidate trump was then quote "over a barrel" and we are also learning more about bruce ohr's work at the d doj and how involved he has been at the russian investigation. and now, matthew rose nberg is joining us with a new piece in the new york times. matthew say that ohr was involved specifically in an effort to flip russian oligarchs and tell us about this? >> well, one thing about bruce ohr and chris steele, they are part of a group of people who have specialized in tracking russian organized crime and russian intelligence for many years. so bruce ohr first met chris steele in 2007 when he was a british spy, and they have been involved in a number of initiatives and then in 2014, the u.s. justice department set out to target half a dozen russian oligarchs they felt could be sources of information. so they turned to chris steele as an intermediary for these approach, and bruce ohr was one of the justices running the program, so there were contacts be e e tween -- between ohr and steele, and now a number o

talking about this reporting, especially when it comes to the associated press that claims from bruce ohr he was told that the russian intelligence had trump over a barrel, according to multiple people familiar with that encounter and what do you take away from that encounter. >> this was not in the dossier, something that christopher steele told bruce ohr over breakfast that a russian intelligence officer had said and one of his sources inside of russia had picked up in his conversations with members of russian intel, and that is significant because that means that members of the gru and the fsu were discussing the fact -- or the notion that they had compromising information about the president that was causing trump to act in certain ways. that was essentially blackmail. and it is something that we had not heard before.

you have all of these trump-hating deep state actors, peter strzok, lisa page, bruce ohr, nellie ohr, andrew mccabe, christopher steele, they have one thing in common, they all hate president trump. this was about a month before andrew weissmann's boss, robert mueller, started the phony witch hunt. he's still working for mueller, weissmann is. this comes as president trump looks poised to declassify important sections of carter page's fisa documents, everything that was shown to the gang of eight, specifically the pages 10 through 12, 17 through 34, potentially we're told exculpatory information on carter page. now, all of the associated footnotes, the so-called 302s, the reports that say bruce ohr talking about christopher steele in the context, terms of what they talk were. this -- talk about. this declassification can happen any time. i haven't seen them but according to my sources the information will be explosive. we'll ask carter page about that in a moment considering it's about him. and if he's such a danger why hasn't he been charged? joining us you ator of number one "new yo

according to the times, two players in the program effort to bring bruce ohr and president slammed ohr to discredit him for contact with steele to compile the dossier on trump. the "times" met they met with deripaska in 2015 and again in 2016, when fbi agents showed up at deripaska's door investigating ties between russia and the trump campaign and mr. paul manafort was the link for the trump campaign. and joining me is a natasha bertrand and from bloomberg news, kevin cirilli and from the daily beast, francis fluid. so we have a lot of people. manafort and russia. and how are we connecting this dot based on the reporting. >> this underscores how important deripaska is to the entire manafort story. he did business with paul manafort between 2006 and 2015 and he would have been very useful in telling the fbi, for example, what manafort was doing overseas what his connections to oligarchs was. and deripaska and manafort had a falling out and he was in debt by the time he joined the trump campaign so it makes sense that the fbi, especially in september of 2016, would have wanted to ask de

a closed door deposition this week on capitol hill, two sources with direct knowledge tell fox news ohr told investigators at least half a dozen fbi and doj officials knew about his back channel contact with christopher steele, who compiled the controversial dossier on candidate trump, and about the origins of the dossier as a piece of democrat funded opposition research. house republicans have criticized fbi officials for not disclosing those details in their applications for the surveillance warrants and are once again asking the president to declassify the bureau's records about ohr and the warrant applications. >> for more on this, let's bring in breaking news editor for "the daily caller." good to see you. let's start with what garrett was talking about, the potential for a bombshell from special counsel robert mueller around labor day. there was an anchor on another network, i forget the name of it, that said show up for work on friday, journalists, there's going to be a big one that might be coming. never came. >> that's right. that was the prevailing wisdom from the other news n
