US attorney denies report that Barr asked prosecutors to consider criminal charges against Durkan. Yesterday Fake News ran with a story that Barr asked attorneys to look into charging the mayor of Seattle. The U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington issued a statement early Thursday that this is the first he's heard of it.
So has Fake News struck again?Brian T. Moran, the federal prosecutor, said he has had multiple conversations with leadership inside within the Department of Justice and "at no time has anyone at the Department communicated to me that Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan is, was or should be charged with any federal crime" related to CHOP."As U.S. Attorney I would be aware of such an investigation," he said.
