ROME - Attorney General William Barr held two secret meetings with Italian intelligence agencies as part of an investigation by President Donald Trump’s administration into the origins of the inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 American election, Italy’s Corriere della Sera newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Trump, who is running for re-election next year, has called the Russia investigation a “witch hunt” and has repeatedly sought to discredit it. U.S. Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said on Monday that Trump had contacted other countries to introduce Barr and Durham. Kupec did not name the countries in her statement, but U.S. media have said Barr made overtures to British intelligence and had visited Italy.
