British ex-spy Christopher Steele was worried about what FBI Director James Comey might say in testimony to Congress, according to newly released FBI documents.
The author of the anti-Trump dossier was particularly concerned with what Sen. Chuck Grassley could ask during a hearing on May 3, 2017, Justice Department official Bruce Ohr told FBI agents a week later.
"Steele had been worried about Director Comey’s upcoming testimony to Congress, especially his response to questions that would be raised by (Sen.) Grassley," according to the FBI's notes from a May 10, 2017 interview with Ohr, who had spoken to Steele the day of the hearing.
Just what Steele was concerned about is redacted, but the notes said ultimately Steele was “happy with Director Comey’s response.”

Earlier this year Trump gave Attorney General William Barr "full and complete authority to declassify information" related to the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, and Barr selected U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead the review. Barr has said he is working closely with DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who launched an inquiry in March 2018 into alleged abuse of the FISA Court process, including the FBI’s use of the Steele dossier. Horowitz’s reportis expected after Labor Day.
Wait there's more.
