SANDRA SMITH.
>> Jon: I'M JON SCOTT FOR BILL
HEMMER.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN CHICAGO
TODAY WHERE PRESIDENT TRUMP
WILL BE SPEAKING NEXT HOUR TO A
MEETING OF POLICE CHIEFS.
BARR TELLING FOX NEWS THE
INVESTIGATION INTO HOW THE
RUSSIA PROBE GOT STARTED IS
MAKING GREAT HEADWAY.
>> DURHAM, THE U.S. ATTORNEY
FOR CONNECTICUT, IS IN CHARGE
OF THE INVESTIGATION.
I UNDERSTAND HE IS MAKING GREAT
PROGRESS.
AS YOU KNOW HE IS A 35-YEAR
VETERAN OF THE DEPARTMENT.
GREAT REPUTATION FOR
NONPARTISANSHIP.
HE WAS SELECTED BY TWO
DEMOCRATIC ATTORNEY GENERALS TO
DO SENSITIVE INVESTIGATIONS FOR
THEM.
HE
HE IS THOROUGH AND FAIR.
I'M CONFIDENT HE WILL GET TO
THE BOTTOM OF THINGS.
>> Sandra: THAT INTERVIEW
HAPPENING MOMENTS AGO.
WE'RE LIVE IN CHICAGO WITH THAT.
DAVID.
LAW ENFORCEMENT.
BEFORE MEETING THOSE MEMBERS OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT OUR PRODUCER
JAKE GIBSON HAD A CHANCE TO SIT
DOWN WITH MR. BARR TO TALK TO
HIM ABOUT THE DURHAM
INVESTIGATION.
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS TEAM
ARE CALLING IT INVESTIGATING
THE INVESTIGATORS.
LAST WEEK WE LEARNED THAT THE
INVESTIGATION INTO THE ORIGINS
OF THE RUSSIA PROBE IS NOW
CRIMINAL HEADED BY U.S.
ATTORNEY JOHN DURHAM OUT OF
CONNECTICUT.
IT STARTED AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE
REVIEW BUT THAT HAS CHANGED.
NOW DURHAM WILL HAVE THE
ABILITY TO FILE CRIMINAL
CHARGES AND ISSUE A GRAND JURY.
DESPITE TRAVELING TO ITALY TO
DURHAM AND INTRODUCING HIM TO
OFFICIALS IN THE U.K. AND
AUSTRALIA ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR
SAID IT'S ONLY JOHN DURHAM'S
INVESTIGATION.
>> WE'LL LET THE CHIPS FALL
WHERE THEY MAY.
I THINK THEY ALL KNOW JOHN
DURHAM'S REPUTATION AND WE'LL
JUST SEE HOW IT TURNS OUT.
I DO WANT TO SAY THAT ONE OF
THE REASONS MR. DURHAM IS ABLE
TO MAKE THE KIND OF PROGRESS HE
IS MAKING IS BECAUSE DIRECTOR
WRAY AND HIS TEAM AT THE F.B.I.
HAVE BEEN OUTSTANDING IN
SUPPORT AND RESPONSIVENESS
THEY'VE GIVEN.
>> THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
PRAISING THE F.B.I. BEFORE HE
EVEN TOOK THE OATH OF OFFICE,
BILL BARR WAS ASKED IF HE WOULD
BE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PERSONAL
ATTORNEY OR THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES.
STILL A LOT OF CRITICISM THERE
FROM DEMOCRATS.
WE ASKED HIM THAT QUESTION
TODAY AND BARR INSISTS THAT HE
IS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, NOT
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PERSONAL
ATTORNEY.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SET TO TAKE THE
