Special counsel John Durham’s team, in a court filing on Jan. 28, offered additional context on a previous filing that described how the team learned of evidence in the possession of the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) that was seemingly withheld from investigators.

The evidence, which includes two cellphones used by former FBI general counsel James Baker and forensic reports analyzing the phones, only came to light in January.
