Just days prior to Mueller's report being released, Barr said that he'd read the report and Trump did nothing wrong.

Ex-FBI official thinks Trump's surveillance footage 'flipped the switch' for DOJ to issue search

Former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi has remained cautious when talking about the FBI and Justice Department's deliberative movements dealing with Donald Trump. But in his most recent panel discussion with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday, Figliuzzi indicated he was frustrated with how slow they moved when it comes to the classified documents sitting in Mar-a-Lago.

"So, for those of us sitting at home trying to figure out what was the switch that flipped and got them to the search warrant? What was it that happened, and I think it's a myriad of things," Figliuzzi. "There are human sources because we know from filings there's references repeatedly to witnesses who have been interviewed, so that's great, but I think one of those so-called witnesses was the surveillance camera footage. I think what they saw was, you know, no surprise here, that they couldn't trust Trump. By that I mean by then a couple of locks had been slapped on the storage room door, right? So, everything's supposed to be fine. While we continued to nicely, civilly discuss and negotiate whatever's going to happen."

Maddow asks Congress how they'll respond to court saying Bill Barr lied about Trump's guilt in Russia probe

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow began her Monday episode citing the court decision last week that former Attorney General Bill Barr lied in his memo about the Russia investigation.

Maddow began by talking about the Office of Legal Counsel that penned a "policy" that a sitting president can't be indicted while in office. But according to Barr, that OLC opinion didn't matter, because special counsel Robert Mueller concluded that Donald Trump was innocent. The three-judge panel of the Federal Appeals Court ruled that was false.

Putin has broadly claimed to the Russian people that the invasion of Ukraine is simply a limited, strategic operation to provide security to so-called "independent Republicans" declared by Kremlin-backed separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
