Barr says Durham investigation won’t disrupt 2020 election

Published September 2, 2020 11:06pm ET



Attorney General William Barr denied that he is being pressured by President Trump in his handling of U.S. Attorney John Durham’s inquiry into the Russia investigation and claimed that any actions taken won’t affect the 2020 election.

During an interview on The Situation Room on CNN, Barr stressed that the Durham review will abide by Justice Department guidelines. He also reiterated that, despite urging from Trump, former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, are not under criminal investigation.
