Attorney General Bill Barr went out of his way Monday to express skepticism about information President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani is offering on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, but Barr also made clear the Justice Department is open to receiving whatever Giuliani wants to share.
"The Department of Justice has the obligation to have an open door to anybody who wishes to provide us information that they think is relevant," Barr said in response to a reporter's question at a news conference on unrelated database hacking charges."I did say to Sen. Graham, we have to be very careful with respect to any information coming from the Ukraine."
"There are a lot of agendas in the Ukraine. There are a lot of cross currents, and we can't take anything we receive from the Ukraine at face value," Barr said. He said the department's stance on accounts or evidence emerging from the former Soviet republic is a broad one, but he emphasized it would apply to"any information Giuliani might provide."
Barr left the news conference Monday without taking any follow-up questions, but FBI Deputy Director David Bowditch said any report from Giuliani would be handled in the usual course.
