While digging into the FBI’s probe of Russian collusion in the 2016 election, special counsel John Durham received a “potentially explosive tip” about the former president.
In 2019, at the behest of Donald Trump, Attorney General William Barr asked a prosecutor named John Durham to look into the FBI’s probe on possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, in the hopes of proving the then-president’s assertion that it was the “single greatest witch hunt” in U.S. history correct.
As special counsel, Durham reportedly pressed Italian officials to share any role they may have had in igniting the FBI’s investigation. In response, Italy “unexpectedly offered a potentially explosive tip linking Mr. Trump to certain suspected financial crimes,” thereported. Barr and Durham, who had become good drinking buddies by this point, decided the tip was both credible and serious.
