As the Durham probe finally winds down after finding no wrongdoing in the Trump-Russia investigation and Durham is working on a final report, the Timesspoke “with more than a dozen current and former officials” with knowledge of the investigation, who revealed stunning new details.
One of the major new revelations relates to Durham speaking with Italian officials in an attempt to tie intelligence agencies to the Trump-Russia report. Instead of helping Durham, however, Italian officials tipped him off to alleged financial crimes by Trump, which reportedly was concrete enough to launch a new investigation.
The Times also noted Barr and Durham “never disclosed that their inquiry expanded” into a criminal investigation of Trump based on the 2019 tip. “ The specifics of the tip and how they handled the investigation remain unclear, but Mr. Durham brought no charges over it,” the report concluded.
