Barr dropped into Giuliani meeting at Justice Department in previously undisclosed encounter

The meeting reveals a previously undisclosed interaction between two men the President depends on to defend him.

Justice officials have sought to distance the department and Barr from Giuliani since it became clear in recent months that the former New York mayor is the subject of an investigation by Manhattan federal prosecutors. Giuliani was a part of a team of defense attorneys representing a Venezuelan client when they met with Justice Department officials.
