A former Associate Deputy Attorney General and former director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF), as of February 2018 Ohr was working in the Justice Department's Criminal Division.
He is an expert on transnational organized crime and has spent most of his career overseeing gang and racketeering-related prosecutions, including Russian organized crime.Ohr was little-known until 2018, when he became the subject of Republican scrutiny and conservative conspiracy theories over his purported involvement in starting the probe on Russian interference in the 2016 election.
He was criticized by President Donald Trump, who accused Ohr of abusing his access to sensitive information.
No evidence has emerged that Ohr was involved in the initiation of the Russia probe or that Ohr mishandled sensitive information.
According to a comprehensive review by ABC News, Ohr "had little impact on the FBI’s growing probe into Trump and his associates."
