Durham, Barr reject Justice Department Inspector General findings that tend to clear FBI in Trump-Russia probe - Hartford Courant: Connecticut U.S. Attorney John H. Durham, who is leading the Justice Department’s criminal investigation of how the FBI opened a Russia-collusion case against President Donald J. Trump’s 2016 campaign, disputed the central conclusion of the long-awaited inspector general report Monday that the bureau was justified in opening the probe.

"Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened,” Durham said.
