Attorney General William Barr confirmed on Feb. 10 that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is currently receiving and evaluating information on Ukraine, including from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, as part of an “intake process,” while noting that officials have to be “very careful” about information coming from that country.
“The Justice Department has the obligation to have an open door to anybody who wishes to provide us information that they think is relevant.” Barr told reporters. “We can’t take anything we receive from the Ukraine at face value. For that reason, we had established an intake process in the field, so that any information coming in about Ukraine could be carefully scrutinized by the department.”
