Trump has repeatedly accused Obama of unjustly targeting his associates and has called for the Senate Judiciary Committee to call his predecessor to testify in hearings. Trump, however, has yet to explain what crime he thinks Obama had committed.
WASHINGTON – Attorney General William Barr said Monday that former President Barack Obama and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden are not under investigation, despite President Donald Trump’s assertions that his predecessor’s administration had committed criminal offenses.
"What happened to the president in the 2016 election and throughout the first two years of his presidency was abhorrent. It was a grave injustice and it was unprecedented in American history," Barr said."The Durham investigation is trying to get to the bottom of what happened. And it will determine whether there are federal laws broken. Those who broke the laws will be held to account.
Trump and his allies have seized on the prosecution of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, one of the first targets of Mueller's inquiry, claiming that the retired lieutenant general was entrapped by FBI agents into lying about his contacts with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
