The US intelligence community assessment that Russian interference in the 2020 election favors President Trump threatens to undercut his hopes that prosecutor John Durham will discredit the origins of the FBI's Russia investigation into his 2016 campaign
The US intelligence community assessment that Russian interference in the 2020 election favors President Donald Trump threatens to undercut his hopes that prosecutor John Durham will discredit the origins of the FBI's Russia investigation into his 2016 campaign.
Trump and allies, including Attorney General William Barr, have questioned whether the Russians showed a preference for Trump in 2016. But the US intelligence assessment released last week makes clear the Russians are doubling down on their pro-Trump efforts to undermine Joe Biden's 2020 campaign.
37 times President Trump was soft on Russia 06:25Barr, who initially said he anticipated Durham to finish his work this summer but has also mentioned an early fall timeline, discussed possible delays, including trying to negotiate with witnesses, during a Fox News interview aired Sunday. "He's meticulous and he is about gathering all the evidence," Barr told conservative host Mark Levin.
Ex-Fed Prosecutor: Nothing about AG Barr's very politicized tenure has been normal 09:57Barr, in House testimony last month, said the premise of the 2016 FBI investigation into the Trump campaign was"bogus." In Fox News interviews he regularly has described the investigation as"one of the greatest travesties in American history," and accused the FBI of trying to"sabotage the presidency." Those views stand in contrast with a new assessment released last Friday.
Barr asked about Russia election interference. Hear his response 02:56A grand jury in Washington's federal court, which Durham was using as part of his investigation, also has resumed work, people familiar with the matter said. Some key interviews appear to still be in the works. Brennan and Clapper haven't met with Durham.
