AG Barr said his obligation is to ensure the government did not abuse surveillance powers and he had already set up a team to investigate what happened in 2016.

During his testimony, he stated, “I think spying did occur,” but then second guessed what he had seen, if what he saw was really spying.

The Attorney General expressed, “Congress is usually very concerned about intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies staying in their proper lane.”
