In an interview last night, Attorney General William Barr backed President Trump on his firing of the intelligence community’s chief watchdog and dismissed the investigation into Trump's ties to Russia as baseless
Barr's comments come after Trump expressed his intent to fire the intelligence community's Inspector General, Michael Atkinson, last week. Atkinson was the first to inform Congress about an "urgent" complaint concerning Trump's contacts with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Those contacts launched the House's impeachment inquiry.
"He was obliged to follow the interpretation of the Department of Justice and he ignored it," Barr said. "I think a president was correct in firing him." Barr wouldn’t tell Ingraham how far Durham had advanced in the investigation, but said it was a “sprawling case” that “takes some time” to fully investigate.
