Barr deems Trump-Russia probe unfair to president.

Former Attorney General William Barr Defends Trump

Former Attorney General William Barr recently appeared on Fox News to defend former President Donald Trump against what he called “one of the greatest injustices” done to a president. Barr praised Trump’s policy record and argued that the investigation into his alleged ties to the Russian government was an almost unparalleled injustice.

Durham’s Investigation Clears Trump of Wrongdoing

Barr also praised special counsel John Durham’s investigation, which he commissioned in 2019. Durham’s final report, released on Monday, found that the Steele dossier was deeply flawed and that the FBI was unable to corroborate “a single substantive allegation.” Durham’s investigation fully cleared Trump of all wrongdoing in the Russia inquiry.

Findings Corroborate Trump’s Claims

Durham’s investigation corroborated some of Trump’s claims about the FBI’s Russian collusion investigation, specifically regarding political bias and a failure in judgment. However, the report did not uncover the “crime of the century” as Trump had speculated and did not recommend any criminal charges.

One of the Greatest Injustices Done to a Presidential Candidate and President

“This is one of the greatest injustices done to a presidential candidate and president,” Barr said. He continued, “He has been vindicated as far as Russiagate is concerned.” Barr’s rare defense and praise of his former boss highlights the controversial nature of the investigation and its impact on Trump’s presidency.
