Nellie Ohr, the wife of Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, refused to appear before Congress for a closed-door hearing that was supposed to happen today.
The Daily Caller reports Ohr, who worked for Fusion GPS, the firm behind the fake Steele dossier, was scheduled to appear for interviews during a joint session with the House Judiciary and House Oversight & Government Reform committees.
But two congressional sources said that she is not cooperating and will have to be subpoenaed to force an appearance.
It is believed that Bruce Ohr, the former assistant deputy attorney general, was feeding information to the FBI from dossier author Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson before and after the election.
