Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), the House Judiciary Committee chairman, said Sunday that Nellie Ohr, the wife of Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, is cooperating with the committee and will testify in October.
“Nellie Ohr is cooperating. We have a date for her appearance before the committee for an interview on Oct. 19," Goodlatte said on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures."
Goodlatte's comments come after Republicans last week threatened to subpoena Nellie Ohr after a deal fell apart that would have led to her testimony last week. The Ohrs have come under GOP scrutiny for their ties to a controversial dossier that makes a series of salacious allegations about President Trump and possible ties between Trump and Russia. Nellie Ohr worked during the presidential campaign for the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which retained former British spy Christopher Steele to compile the dossier.
Conservatives argue that Bruce Ohr’s ties to Fusion GPS through his wife are evidence that there is a bias against Trump within the DOJ.
Trump last week said he would declassify a series of sensitive documents related to the Russia investigation, including FBI reports of interviews with Bruce Ohr. On Friday, however, he delayed the release of those documents, saying "key allies" raised concerns.
Goodlatte on Sunday said Trump "needs to remain hands-on on this issue."
"He needs to be personally engaged in overseeing the process by which those documents are declassified," Goodlatte said.
“We need to have the facts out so that we can decide for ourselves," he added.
When do we start looking at the long list of Conflicts of Interest with Rosenstien’s wife.
Yes he does.
I, for one, am having a hard time believing she will tell all.
Maybe that’s just me.
“I don’t recall...”
It could be another sham interview not to expose her but exonerate her.
Bingo
Nellie’s gonna testify. Completely worthless unless she’s under oath. Anybody know?
And why a month from now? Time to get her story straight?
She might not make it by October 15 if you know what I mean. I don’t trust none of these deep staters. Look at how furious and nonstop they are at going at Trump day in and day out in every facet...they might off her
Waterboard her.
I say this is a stall tactic for the mid-terms.
Her testimony, if it is reported at all, will be reported favorably for her and negatively for Trump, like it was for Bruce Ohr. The stories were the exact opposite of what the event actually portended.
The media will portray as her being mistreated by “Republican men.”
“Waterboard her.”
Have you seen her face? Someone already “iceberged” her.
Why does everything in Versailles on the Potomac take so long? Ohr should be testifying today! It’s not like she’s an unknown or they’re not prepared.
I swear, if Congress had created the world, the amoebas would still be arguing over funding the investment for the next step.
hehe
“after a deal fell apart that would have led to her testimony last week. “
What the crap does that mean? “After a deal fell apart”? Why are they even making deals? Go kick her damn door in during the middle of the night and drag her sorry @$$ in for questioning! They didn’t mind doing to to Manafort. I don’t understand all this squishy hands off treatment of these treasonous villains.
Waterboard her!
Works for me
Britain and Australia. Remember, the Halper/Mifsud setup of Papadopoulos occurred in Britain and involved the Australian ambassador.
““Waterboard her.”
Have you seen her face? Someone already “iceberged” her.”

Well, her husband is no Adonis either! Just further evidence that you can tell someone’s politics by their personal appearance. The uglier they are, the more you can be assured that they are Liberals. And I have come to note that most male RATs, either in government or blabbing on TV, are balding, scruffy (”I need a shave beards”), and three sigma out on the ugly side. Check out the “liberal balance” folks on Fox!
