Trump Big role for a small town denies working for Russia

President blasts former FBI, Justice Dept. investigators

By Darlene Superville and Jonathan Lemire The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Presi- dent Donald Trump on Monday denied he ever worked for Russia against U.S. interests, addressing an extraordinary question that has haunted his presidency and shows no sign of going away. Speaking from the South Lawn, Trump issued a flat denial: “I never worked for Russia.” He blasted former FBI and Justice Department officials and repeated his claim that the investigation into his ties to Moscow is a hoax. Trump raised eyebrows over the weekend when he didn’t directly answer the Russia question in an inter- view with Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, a personal A War Bonds display for World War II bond drive held in Leesburg in 1943.

He described Mueller, a former Justice Depart- ment colleague, as a friend he has known personally and professionally for 30 years. Mueller headed the department’s criminal division while Barr served as attorney general from 1991 to 1993. The special counsel is required to confidentially report his findings to the Justice Department. Barr stopped short of directly pledging to release Muel- ler’s conclusions, but he expressed general support for disclosing the findings, whatever they may be. “For that reason, my goal will be to provide as much transparency as I can consistent with the law,” Barr said. “I can assure you that, where judgments are to be made by me, I will make those judgments based solely on the law and will let no personal, political, or other improper interests influence my decisions.” The remarks in support of Mueller are intended to reassure Democratic sen- ators troubled by Barr’s past comments on the special counsel’s probe, including an unsolicited memo he sent the Jus- tice Department last year criticizing the inquiry into whether the president had obstructed justice. He also previously said the president’s firing of FBI director James Comey A6 Tuesday, January 15, 2019 | DailyCommercial.com
