Comparing Approaches: Garland vs. Barr on Special Counsel and Durham Report Findings

Attorney General Merrick Garland's handling of the release of special counsel John Durham's report on the Trump-Russia probe differed from that of his predecessor, William P. Barr. The Durham report was written as an unclassified document with a 29-page classified appendix that has not been made public, and there are no known ongoing investigations from Durham's work. Garland received the report on Friday and sent it to congressional leaders on Monday, shortly before the entire document was shared with reporters and posted online. He did not offer his own analysis or summary.
