The coronavirus pandemic has not deterred U.S. Attorney John Durham from pushing to end his investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.
Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, has increasingly focused on former CIA Director John Brennan's role in shaping an intelligence community assessment that the Russian government meddled in the 2016 election explicitly to help Donald Trump, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Attorney General William Barr tapped Durham last year to conduct a broad review of U.S. government's intelligence-gathering activities related to the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia.
Barr has said that Durham is looking into FBI and CIA activities, as well as the role that any foreign intelligence services might have played in surveilling campaign associates.
The British government has rejected Durham's request to interview Steele, who investigated the Trump campaign on behalf of the Clinton campaign and DNC, according to TheWSJ. Sir Andrew Wood, a former British diplomat who set up a November 2016 meeting between Steele and an aide to John McCain, told The Journal that he has recently been contacted by Durham's office.
The Justice Department released records this week that show Durham convened on a nearly weekly basis last summer with officials in Washington, D.C. The records show that Durham met in the attorney general's office on June 26, July 11, July 16, Aug. 1, Aug. 6, Aug. 20, Sept. 3 and Sept. 12.
Durham traveled with Barr during that time period to meet with foreign intelligence officials, including in Italy and Australia.
