bill-barr-slateAttorney General says he doesn't believe the conclusion of the Justice Department Inspector General that the Russia investigation was justified.

Barr in an interview with NBC News also elaborated on his disagreement with a key conclusion of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report that the investigation was justified, saying he doesn't believe the evidence backed up the steps that were taken.
