Attorney General William Barr has appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham as special counsel to continue investigating the origins of the Russia collusion probe, according to multiple news outlets.
Barr appointed Durham as special counsel on Oct. 19 – two weeks prior to Election Day – but notified Congress in a letter dated Tuesday, according to Fox News.
Barr explained in a letter to the House and Senate Judiciary committees that in May 2019 he directed Durham, a U.S. attorney in Connecticut, to investigate some “intelligence and law-enforcement activities related to the 2016 presidential election.”
