Did Bruce Ohr's contacts violate 'established protocol'? GOP lawmaker wants to know

Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., wants the Justice Department and the agency’s inspector general to examine whether the FBI and the Justice Department “potentially broke from established protocol to further their investigation of the Trump campaign.”

In a letter sent to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Inspector General Michael Horowitz, Meadows says that a recent transcribed interview with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr “flagged” situations where the agencies may have violated protocol. The letter urges Horowitz and U.S. attorney John Huber to examine Ohr’s “role as a conduit” between the FBI and Trump-Russia dossier author and former British spy Christopher Steele.
