The forthcoming release of an internal Justice Department watchdog report on the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation won't be the last word on the matter, Attorney General William Barr has told conservative allies
Long a skeptic of the Russia probe, and particularly the FBI's tactics to investigate Trump campaign associates, Barr believes questions remain about some of the intelligence and other information the FBI used to pursue the investigation, according to people at the Justice Department and in Congress familiar with his thinking.
Even after initial internal briefings as attorney general earlier this year, Barr told other Justice officials he had information that bolstered some of his qualms about the department's handling of the Russia probe. It's not clear where he obtained that information. Barr is a voracious consumer of conservative media, including some organizations that have fed skepticism about Russian election interference and the activities of Trump campaign associates.
