ROME - U.S. Attorney General William Barr held two secret meetings with Italian intelligence agencies as part of an investigation by President Donald Trump’s administration into the origins of the inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 American election, Italy’s Corriere della Sera newspaper reported on Wednesday.
“I respect and take notice of what is reported in the media but if I have to make things clear I will do it exclusively in the appropriate forums. On the rest, no comment”, Vecchione said in a statement.A political source told Reuters on Wednesday that Conte could be asked in coming weeks to respond before the parliamentary committee for security about the reported meetings.
Barr in May appointed federal prosecutor John Durham to look into the matter. U.S. Democrats have called the investigation an effort to sully the conclusions of Mueller and U.S. intelligence agencies to benefit Trump politically, even as the House of Representatives pursues an impeachment inquiry arising from Trump’s request that Ukraine investigate domestic political rival Joe Biden.
Mifsud was teaching at a Rome university when the scandal erupted. His present whereabouts are unknown.
