ATTORNEY GENERAL/INVESTIGATIONS/JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/RUDY GUILIANI/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Attorney General William P. Barr said on Monday [2-10-20] that the Justice Department would consider information from Rudolph W. Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer, about Ukraine. That could include assertions about former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter. The Justice Department ‘has the obligation to have an open door to anybody who wishes to provide us information that they think is relevant,’ Mr. Barr said at an unrelated news conference. He added that no information coming out of Ukraine could be taken ‘at face value’ given the amount of politically driven disinformation that could emerge from the country.”
