The Justice Department probe into the origins of the Russia investigation is continuing to progress as the coronavirus pandemic shuts down institutions across the country, Attorney General William Barr said this week
Still, department officials say the pandemic is having an effect, and Barr's initial expectation that the probe would be completed by May or June could be delayed.That could push the presentation of any findings from John Durham, the Connecticut prosecutor whom Barr appointed last year to review the investigation, closer to the November presidential election.
But even the latest extensive review of the investigation, by the Senate Intelligence Committee this week, found that Russia was trying to help Trump in 2016 and the intelligence community's conclusions during the Obama administration on Russian interference came without political bias. CNN previously has reported that Durham is investigating the actions of a lower-level FBI attorney who included incorrect information in a surveillance application in 2016.
