WATCH: Democrat Tries To Pressure Barr To Commit To Not Releasing Results From Durham Investigation Before Election

Democrat Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (FL) tried to pressure Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday into committing that he would not release any results from U.S. Attorney John Durham’s criminal investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation until after the election.

During the latter part of last year, what started out as an administration review into the origins of the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign turned into a criminal investigation based on evidence reportedly uncovered. The general thinking among the president’s allies is that there was allegedly a criminal conspiracy to use the law enforcement apparatus of the U.S. government to take down Trump.
