John Solomon, Just the News, October 14, 2020: Bruce Ohr retired from DOJ on September 30, 2020, after being informed a disciplinary decision was imminent on the Russia-case conduct. The piece notes Nellie Ohr’s Fusion GPS work in that context — the spouse contract that sat under the ethics and channel story. Retirement is not a finding against her. It is the end of his Justice Department career as Solomon reported it.
Five years later the same outlet stayed on the file. Just the News reported Grassley’s letter asking FBI Director Kash Patel to declassify the Bureau’s analysis of the Meadows referral. On May 28, 2025, Steven Richards wrote that the FBI had assessed the Fusion GPS contractor likely lied to Congress about her role, listing four areas (DOJ knowledge, Steele dossier, DOJ contacts, ham-radio timing versus Fairfax records), and noting DOJ never charged her after the 2019 referral.
That is reporting on an FBI assessment and on a senator’s release. It is not a plea. It is not a conviction. The primary PDF and Grassley’s own release are in the next episode.
