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.

"Barr's Interference: Nora Dannehy Exposes Meddling in Trump-Russia Probe"

Nora Dannehy, a nominee for the Connecticut Supreme Court, testified at her confirmation hearing that she resigned from the Department of Justice and the Trump-Russia investigation due to Attorney General William Barr's improper pressure for an interim public report ahead of the 2020 presidential election. Dannehy, who worked as a career prosecutor under both Republican and Democratic administrations, stated that she strongly disagreed with conclusions in a draft interim report and saw Barr as pressing her and John Durham, the U.S. attorney leading the investigation, to act in favor of Trump's reelection. The committee voted 30-4 to recommend her nomination for confirmation.

John Durham's Testimony Sparks Controversy Over Trump-Russia Probe.

Legal experts claim that special counsel John Durham made false statements while testifying before the House Judiciary Committee about the FBI's probe into the Trump campaign's alleged collusion with Russia during the 2016 election. Durham's report on the FBI's inquiry was released last month after four years of investigation and notably did not produce any evidence backing former President Donald Trump and his allies' claims that the bureau's investigation was an elaborate hoax concocted by opponents in the Deep State.

Political Divide Deepens as John Durham Testifies on FBI Report.

Special Counsel John Durham testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday regarding his report on the FBI investigation of collusion between Russian officials and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Democrats and Republicans sparred over the report, with Democrats accusing Durham of constructing a flimsy story built on shaky inferences and dog whistles to far-right conspiracy theorists, while Republicans called for reforms to the FBI and accused the investigation of being politically motivated. Durham stood by the findings of the report and defended himself from Democratic criticism.

John Durham to testify on FBI bias in Trump-Russia probe report.

Special counsel John Durham will testify before the House Judiciary Committee on June 21 to discuss his final report on the FBI's investigation into claims of Russian collusion by former President Donald Trump. Durham's report found that the FBI's probe was "seriously flawed" and that officials demonstrated a "pattern of assuming nefarious intent." The report also noted the role of 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in circulating allegations of a Trump-Russia conspiracy. Durham is likely to face criticism from both Republicans and Democrats during his testimony.

Durham Report Reveals Obama and Clapper's Knowledge of Clinton Campaign's Russia Collusion Narrative.

Former President Barack Obama and his director of national intelligence, James Clapper, were both briefed in 2016 on reports that then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton planned to vilify Donald Trump by claiming he was colluding with Russia to win the election, according to the final report from Special Counsel John Durham's investigation into the original Trump-Russia probe. Durham found that there was never any information to justify opening the FBI's original investigation and that the bureau and the Department of Justice "failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law."

The Durham Report and the Deep State: A Week in Review

Special Counsel John Durham found that there was never any information to justify opening the FBI’s original investigation into whether former President Donald Trump and his campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election. Durham was appointed to investigate the origins of that probe, known inside the FBI as "Crossfire Hurricane," just weeks after then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller completed his years-long investigation that yielded no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between Trump and Russia. Key players who furthered the Trump-Russia narrative include Hillary Clinton, her campaign, and the DNC, opposition research firm Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele, former FBI Director James Comey, and former Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok.

John Durham's report on FBI's Trump-Russia probe finds failures and sharp criticism.

Special counsel John Durham concluded that the FBI should never have launched a full investigation into connections between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia during the 2016 election, according to a report compiled over three years. Durham’s report also states that the FBI used “raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence,” to launch the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into Trump and Russia but used a different standard when weighing concerns about alleged election interference regarding Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Durham did not recommend any new charges against individuals or “wholesale changes” about how the FBI handles politically charged investigations, despite strongly criticizing the agency’s behavior.
