Barr: Russia 'origins' probe to yield 'significant developments'

Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham's investigation into the origins of the Russia probe will see "a development" Friday -- with more "significant developments" to come, Attorney General William Barr told Fox News' Sean Hannity in an exclusive interview Thursday.
While Friday's news won't be "earth-shattering," Barr said it would be "an indication that things are moving along at the proper pace as dictated by the facts in this investigation."
"There are two different things going on, Sean," Barr said. "I said the American people need to know what actually happened, we need to get the story of what happened in 2016 and '17 out. That will be done.
"The second aspect of this is, if people crossed the line, if people involved in that activity violated criminal law, they will be charged. And John Durham is an independent man, highly experienced, and his investigation is pursuing apace. There was some delay because of COVID, but I'm satisfied with the progress and I've said there are going to be developments, significant developments, before the election."
"But we're not doing this on the election schedule," Barr continued. "We're aware of the election. We're not going to do anything inappropriate before the election. But we're not being dictated to by this schedule."
He added the timing of the disclosures will be determined by developments in the case, not by the election. CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY.
