Trump gives Barr and Durham power to present classified information to grand jury in Trump-Russia investigation

President Trump released an executive order on Tuesday stating Attorney General William Barr and, by extension, special counsel John Durham are authorized to present classified information to a grand jury in the inquiry into the Trump-Russia investigators.

Trump gave Barr wide-ranging powers to conduct the investigation into the origins and conduct of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane inquiry in 2019, and Barr picked Durham to run the investigation last spring, first from his position as a federal prosecutor in Connecticut, and now as special counsel after quietly enhancing his role in October.

“The Attorney General is authorized to use classified information as he deems necessary in connection with his review, including in a grand jury or other proceeding,” Trump said in a memorandum signed Friday and made public today, reinforcing investigative powers granted to Barr and Durham in May 2019.

He added: “The authority in this memorandum shall terminate upon the conclusion of the Special Counsel’s investigation, unless expressly extended by the President. In addition, the authority of the Attorney General under the May 23, 2019, memorandum is hereby extended to terminate only upon the conclusion of the Special Counsel’s investigation.”
