Attorney General Bill Barr said he could at least reveal some findings from a federal prosecutor’s investigation into the origins of Russia’s investigation into the November general election.
Barr spoke at a round table in Cheyenne, Wyo., On Thursday, Barr said that U.S. attorney John DurhamJohn DurhamGraham says that FBI chief ‘committed to being useful’ to Trump criticism. There’s no ’60 day rule ‘- for justice or for elections The Hill’s Morning Report – Presented by Facebook – Negotiators signal relief law firm, not dead MAY, who appointed Barr to test the origins of the Russian probe, “moves deliberately along, and we are certainly aware of the calendar,” reported the Wall Street Journal.
“We will develop this case to the extent we can before the election, and we will use our prudent judgment to decide what is appropriate for the election and what should wait until after the election,” Barr said.
Thursday night, Barr told Fox News that there will be a “development” on Friday.
Durham’s investigation follows Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report that found “significant inaccuracies and omissions” in the FBI’s application to a court for permission to check on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
But the report also states the FBI’s decision to investigate the campaign was not motivated by political bias, as President TrumpDonald John TrumpUSPS warns Pennsylvania post-in polls may not be delivered on time to count.

The president on Thursday expressed his impatience over the speed of the investigation.
“Bill Barr has the chance to be the greatest of all time. “But if he wants to be politically correct, he’s just going to be a different man because he knows all the answers, he knows what they have,” Trump told Fox News.
According to the Journal, Barr said in Wyoming that what the president says has little to do with the investigation itself.
“Do people think I’m talking about being politically correct?” Barr said.
