“Attorney General William Barr sharply criticized on Monday the FBI’s decision to open the Russia investigation, undercutting a major finding in a long-awaited watchdog report and at the same time showing his willingness to act as President Trump’s vocal defender,” the New York Times reports.
“John Durham, a federal prosecutor whom Mr. Barr appointed to run a separate criminal investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation, backed Mr. Barr’s findings in his own highly unusual statement.”
Said Durham: “Last month we advised the inspector general that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.”
