Among the things Ohr said he learned from Steele during the breakfast was that an unnamed former Russian intelligence official had said that Russian intelligence believed "they had Trump over a barrel," according to people familiar with the meeting.
The FBI's investigation was already under way by the time it received Steele's dossier, and Ohr was not the original source of information from it.
Ohr also told Congress that Steele told him that Page, who traveled to Moscow in early July 2016, had met with more senior Russian officials than he had acknowledged.
Steele and Ohr, at the time of the election a senior official in the deputy attorney general's office, had first met a decade earlier & bonded over a shared interest in international organized crime. They met several times during the presidential campaign.
In the closed-session interview, Ohr acknowledged that he had not told superiors in his office, including Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, about his meetings with Steele because he considered the information inflammatory raw source material.
