Barr has questions about the Russia investigation. Here are some answers.

Attorney General William Barr said this week that he has questions about the Russia investigation and has launched his own internal review to get some answers.
At two high-stakes hearings on Capitol Hill, Barr said he’s worried about potential FBI misconduct at the early stages of the Russia investigation and that he also is scrutinizing how the government obtained secret surveillance warrants against a Trump campaign associate.
Barr’s surprising announcement came just a few days after President Donald Trump publicly demanded investigations like these. With the Russia probe concluded, Trump has turned his ire to the investigators themselves and has called for a review of their conduct.
The attorney general’s move is a boon to Trump allies who’ve clamored for nearly two years that the Russia investigation was a “witch hunt” controlled by political partisans who abused government surveillance tools to stop Trump’s election.
