The Department of Justice is reviewing whether the Central Intelligence Agency's findings that the Russian government intervened to boost President Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election was correct, but it's an investigation that was reportedly already conducted two years ago.
Mike Pompeo — a Trump loyalist who is now the secretary of state — already carried out a similar investigation in 2017 shortly after he was appointed as CIA director, according to Politico.
The investigation didn't find any wrongdoing or evidence that intelligence analysts were under political pressure to produce their findings.
Critics charge that Barr's probe is politically motivated and that it could negatively impact the agency's apolitical intelligence gathering operations.
