Lawyer was told Russia had ‘Trump over a barrel’
WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior Justice Department lawyer 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,” according to multiple people familiar with the encounter. The lawyer, Bruce Ohr, also says he learned that a Trump campaign aide had met with higher-level Russian officials than the aide had acknowledged, the people said. 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. Ohr is the Russian expert and has taken down important Russian operatives in the past. That would explain why Trump wants to strip him of his national security clearance. It stood out earlier because he wasn't involved in the Russia investigations. Now it's clear he is going after him directly because of that.
