→Corn and Steele
When asked whether he was aware of Bruce Ohr’s warning to the FBI, Baker responded, “I don’t recall ever hearing that before just right now” in his 2018 Congressional testi,mony. Baker told lawmakers he was aware Ohr served as Steele’s back-channel to the FBI, but said he was unaware, however, that Ohr’s FBI handler, agent [[Joe Pientka]], funneled the intelligence to FBI Deputy Assistant Director [[Peter Strzok]] and FBI attorney [[Lisa Page]]. Baker said that he only became aware of the fact that Ohr’s wife, [[Nellie Ohr]], worked for Fusion GPS—which had also employed Steele—from public reporting.

Strzok and Lisa Page exchanged dozens of text messages expressing bias against [[Donald Trump]] and support for [[Hillary Clinton]], while playing key roles on the investigations related to both candidates. The discovery of the text messages led to the removal of Strzok from the [[Mueller probe]]. Baker told Congress he ordered an investigation into the messages shortly after reading them.
