American Oversight: We obtained text messages that show the day before the transcript of Donald Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Zelensky was released, former Attorney General Barr texted U.S. Attorney John Durham “Call me ASAP.” 12 hours later, Durham asked for another “quick call.” Durham was the federal prosecutor tapped by Barr to probe the origins of the government’s investigation into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, and his inquiry was repeatedly touted by Trump allies as an effort to counter the narrative of Russian influence. These text messages show coordination between Barr and Durham at a key moment in the Ukraine scandal that led to Donald Trump’s first impeachment, even as there appears to be little connection between the Mueller investigation and the Ukraine scandal. Last year, we uncovered records showing that Barr & his top aides began meeting with Durham almost immediately after Mueller finished his investigation. There has already been significant concern that Durham’s investigation is inappropriately politicized. Barr and Durham, contrary to normal DOJ practice, repeatedly discussed Durham’s ongoing investigation publicly, including to refute the findings of Inspector General Horowitz.
