The US journalist, Sarah Carter, says that President Trump has withdrawn the candidacy of Kavalec to be appointed as Ambassador to Albania.
Carter said on Fox News that the reason why Kathleen Ann Kavalec was not appointed, was because she had personally met and was in communication with British spy Steele, and supplied information to a senior DOJ official after and before the 2016 presidential election.
Sara Carter writes on her website, Saraacarter.com, that Kavalec, a long time State Department employee, worked under Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland. She was also a supporter of former President Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, giving a small donation of $250 in 2012 to the Obama Victory Fund and another $250 to Clinton in 2016.
However, the State Department website continues to show Kavalec as a nominee. Kavalec could not be reached for comment via requests to the State Department.
Kavalec, as well as her colleague Jonathan Winer, a former assistant to former Secretary of State John Kerry, supplied information they had collected from Steele to Bruce Ohr, said sources familiar with the congressional investigations. Ohr is a senior Department of Justice official who was used as a backchannel for the FBI after Steele was removed from the bureau for shopping his dossier to the media in 2016. His wife, Nellie Ohr, was working in 2016 as a contractor for Fusion GPS, who was hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign and DNC to compile the anti-trump dossier.
