Former Prosecutor Reveals Concerns with Barr, Quits Trump-Russia Probe

Nora Dannehy, a former federal prosecutor who worked on the Trump-Russia probe, revealed during her confirmation hearing for the state Supreme Court that she resigned from the investigation due to concerns with then-Attorney General William Barr's public comments about the case and her disagreement with a draft of an interim report he considered releasing before the election. Dannehy stated that she believed Barr's comments violated DOJ guidelines and that she had concerns about the investigation's objectivity. The probe, overseen by former special counsel John Durham, concluded with underwhelming results, leading to a strained relationship between Barr and former President Trump.
