Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, announced Saturday that former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr would appear before Congress later this month.

“Bruce Ohr, former Associate Deputy AG, will be in front of Congress on August 28th. His wife worked for Fusion GPS, the oppo research firm for Clinton,” Jordan tweeted Saturday morning.

Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer, composed the so-called Trump dossier for Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm that employed Bruce Ohr’s wife, Nellie.

The firm was retained by lawyer Mark Elias, who represented the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee also unveiled a memo earlier this year that claimed Bruce Ohr met Steele in 2016 and provided the Justice Department information about Steele’s political persuasions.

Furthermore, Bruce Ohr remained in contact with Steele after the FBI severed ties with the former spy. According to emails originally obtained by The Hill, Bruce Ohr was still receiving information from Steele after the 2016 election.

Bruce Ohr also remained in touch with co-founder of Fusion GPS Glenn Simpson after President Trump was elected, the Washington Examiner's Byron York reported this week.

Jordan’s announcement comes after The Hill reported that House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., was planning to subpoena Bruce and Nellie Ohr, along with Simpson.

Bruce Ohr was demoted from his post as associate deputy attorney general after it came to light he met with Steele and Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, per Fox News. Bruce Ohr is now the Organized Crime Task Force director at the Justice Department, according to Judicial Watch.
