U.S. spy agencies' critical partnerships with English-speaking counterparts...
WASHINGTON - U.S. spy agencies’ critical partnerships with English-speaking counterparts could be undermined by Attorney General William Barr’s investigation into the roots of a probe of Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election, a top Senate Democrat said.
“This puts in jeopardy the whole Five Eyes relationship,” Warner said, referring to a post-World War II arrangement under which spy agencies of the U.S. and four English-speaking allies - Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - share secrets and divide up the world into geographical zones of expertise.
Warner was responding to reports that Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham of Connecticut had approached British, Australian and Italian authorities with questions about the bona fides of sources such as Josef Mifsud, a Maltese academic whose gossip about alleged Russian possession of Hillary Clinton emails helped to trigger the initial FBI investigation.
