Trump has contacted other countries to introduce Attorney General William Barr and a Justice Department official who is conducting an inquiry into the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe
WASHINGTON, Sept 30 - U.S. President Donald Trump has contacted other countries to introduce Attorney General William Barr and a Justice Department official who is conducting an inquiry into the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe, a Justice Department spokeswoman said on Monday.
John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, is reviewing American intelligence agencies' examination of Russian interference in the 2016 election, which led to the Mueller probe denounced by Trump as a partisan witch hunt. An Australian government spokesperson said Morrison confirmed in a phone call with Trump that his government was ready to"help shed further light on the matters under investigation," Australian Broadcasting Corp reported.
The Post, which cited unnamed people familiar with the matter for its report, said Barr had made overtures to British intelligence officials, and last week traveled to Italy, where he and Durham met senior Italian government officials and Barr asked them to help Durham.
