Barr wouldn’t tell Ingraham how far Durham had advanced in the investigation, but said it was a "sprawling case" that "takes some time" to fully investigate.

"I think a report may be and probably will be a byproduct of his activity but his primary focus isn’t to prepare a report. He is looking to bring to justice people who were engaged in abuses if he can show that they were criminal violations and that’s what the focus is on," Barr told Ingraham. ...

Barr argued that the FBI investigation into Trump’s presidential campaign was riddled with abuse of power and had no evidence to back it up. He did not mention the intelligence that prompted the investigation, including a Trump campaign adviser boasting that he knew Russia had damaging information on then-Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

"I think the president has every right to be frustrated because I think what happened to him was one of the greatest travesties in American history," Barr said. "Without any basis, they started this investigation of his campaign and even more concerning actually is what happened after the campaign, a whole pattern of events while he was president."
