Barr Appoints Texas US Attorney To Keep Supposed 'Unmasking' Scandal Afloat

Attorney General Bill Barr appointed a new prosecutor to probe debunked allegations around the so-called “unmasking” of Michael Flynn, Justice Department spokesperson Kerri Kupec said on Wednesday.


In an appearance with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, Kupec said that Barr had named U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas John Bash to review “certain aspects of unmasking.”

The move comes in an election year, and weeks after the Justice Department made the unprecedented decision to move to drop charges against Flynn, to which he admitted guilt in December 2017.

Barr based his decision to drop the charges in part on unsupported allegations that Obama administration officials had no grounds to investigate Flynn, as he lied publicly and privately about a series of phone calls he had with the Russian ambassador to the U.S.
