Barr Makes Clear He’s Pushing Ahead in Thorough Investigation of the Investigators

WASHINGTON—Whatever else emerges from the May 1 Senate Judiciary Committee testimony by Attorney General William Barr, he’s made it clear that he has multiple targets in view in a comprehensive review of the Clinton email and Russia collusion investigations.

The focus of Barr’s review is two-fold: First, how the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI investigated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server to conduct official U.S. diplomatic business.

Second, why the DOJ and FBI launched an investigation of allegations that aides to President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with Russian interests to sway the election against Clinton.
