'Our concern over potential criminality is focused on others,' Barr told reporters on Monday.
Attorney General William Barr said he doesn't expect the Russia probe to result in a criminal investigation of Barack Obama or Joe Biden, despite President Donald Trump's"Obamagate" comments.
Federal prosecutor John Durham has been leading the Justice Department's investigation into the FBI's probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election led by former special counsel Robert Mueller. So far, the details of Durham's review have largely been kept under wraps, but in October 2019 it was reported that the inquiry had become a criminal investigation.
Barr added on Monday:"As long as I'm attorney general, the criminal justice system will not be used for partisan political ends."
