NBC News reported that Attorney General William Barr and Prosecutor John Durham have expanded their examination of the origins of the Trump/Russia investigation. Durham has increased the size of his staff and has pushed out his timeframe.
Durham will be interviewing former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper along with other current and former intelligence community officials. According to NBC:
While on the seldom discussed topic of accountability, would it be possible to begin the questioning by discussing intelligence failures which led to Operation Gothic Serpent and Battle of Mogadishu (Blackhawk Down), Khobar Towers, 9/11, the USS Cole, the Camp Chapman attack and suicide bomber Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, Benghazi, and Extortion-17 ?
