Explainer: Barr investigates the investigators of Russian meddling
WASHINGTON - U.S. Attorney General William Barr has been traveling internationally to help investigate President Donald Trump’s complaints that his campaign was improperly targeted by U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies during the 2016 presidential election.
Some potential witnesses say they will not cooperate voluntarily with the Barr probe, which was announced after several congressional committees, the Justice Department’s internal watchdog and another U.S. prosecutor launched their own reviews.WHAT IS BEING INVESTIGATED? Several months later, the FBI secured a court order to monitor Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser who had traveled to Russia.
Barr has also reached out to Australia, which has pledged to cooperate. He met with security agencies and government officials in the United Kingdom in July, according to sources familiar with the matter.
