Walton made his comments while presiding over a lawsuit on whether the Mueller report should be released without redactions. As Walton saw it, Barr's "lack of <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/candor#Noun" class="extiw" title="wiktionary:candor">candor</a>" undermined Barr's "credibility and, in turn, the department's" arguments before the court. Walton had concerns that Barr may have made a "calculated attempt to influence public discourse" in favor of President Trump by establishing "a one-sided narrative" about the report contrary to the report's findings. Walton questioned if the report's redactions were actually "self-serving" to avoid conflict with Barr's statements, and if the Justice Department used "<a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/post_hoc" class="extiw" title="wikt:post hoc">post-hoc</a> rationalizations" to defend Barr.<a href="#cite_note-SavageMarch-184">[184]</a><a href="#cite_note-SternMarch-185">[185]</a> Kerri Kupec, the DOJ's spokesperson, said Walton's criticisms of Barr "were contrary to the facts" as the redactions were made by DOJ attorneys after they consulted Mueller's team, prosecutors, and other officials.<a href="#cite_note-186">[186]</a> On September 3, Walton ruled that the redaction of FBI reports of witness interviews was proper.<a href="#cite_note-187">[187]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:2019-03-24_Memorandum_to_AG_from_DAG_re_Mueller_Report_Review.pdf" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/2019-03-24_Memorandum_to_AG_from_DAG_re_Mueller_Report_Review.pdf/page1-220px-2019-03-24_Memorandum_to_AG_from_DAG_re_Mueller_Report_Review.pdf.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="285" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/2019-03-24_Memorandum_to_AG_from_DAG_re_Mueller_Report_Review.pdf/page1-330px-2019-03-24_Memorandum_to_AG_from_DAG_re_Mueller_Report_Review.pdf.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/2019-03-24_Memorandum_to_AG_from_DAG_re_Mueller_Report_Review.pdf/page1-440px-2019-03-24_Memorandum_to_AG_from_DAG_re_Mueller_Report_Review.pdf.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1275" data-file-height="1650" /></a><figcaption>The March 24, 2019 Office of Legal Counsel memo.</figcaption></figure> In May 2021, federal judge <a href="/wiki/Amy_Berman_Jackson" title="Amy Berman Jackson">Amy Berman Jackson</a> ruled that a March 24, 2019 Department of Justice memo<a href="#cite_note-188">[188]</a> must be published without redactions.<a href="#cite_note-must_be_released-189">[189]</a> Previously in April 2019, Barr said that his decision to not charge Trump was made "in consultation with the Office of Legal Counsel and other department lawyers". In this lawsuit, the Department of Justice argued that since Barr relied on the advice of this memo to make his decision, this memo should not be published unredacted. Jackson rejected this argument after reviewing the unredacted memo, stating that Barr could not have made the decision on the memo's advice, because the unredacted memo showed that the decision had already been made not to charge Trump. In addition, according to Jackson, the unredacted memo indicated that Barr did not have legitimate authority to make a prosecution decision regarding Trump. Jackson concluded that Barr had been "disingenuous" to Congress in 2019, and that the Department of Justice had been "disingenuous to this court" regarding their "decision-making process".<a href="#cite_note-Schmidt54-150">[150]</a><a href="#cite_note-must_be_released-189">[189]</a><a href="#cite_note-190">[190]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Spygate">Spygate</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=William_Barr&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Spygate">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Spygate_(conspiracy_theory)" title="Spygate (conspiracy theory)">Spygate (conspiracy theory)</a></div> In April 2019, Barr stated that he thought "spying did occur" against the Trump 2016 presidential campaign.<a href="#cite_note-Tucker-2019-191">[191]</a> The remark echoed unsubstantiated claims made by Trump and his supporters that the Trump campaign had been unfairly targeted or spied on by the FBI; Trump described it as an "attempted coup".<a href="#cite_note-Hermani-2019-192">[192]</a><a href="#cite_note-Tucker-2019-191">[191]</a><a href="#cite_note-Desiderio-2019-193">[193]</a><a href="#cite_note-Fandos-2019a-194">[194]</a><a href="#cite_note-195">[195]</a> There is no evidence that government officials engaged in "spying" on the Trump campaign.<a href="#cite_note-Desiderio-2019-193">[193]</a> Barr later said he was not sure what spying had occurred and he did clarify what he meant by "spying".<a href="#cite_note-Tucker-2019-191">[191]</a> He also said he had no evidence of wrong-doing.<a href="#cite_note-Tucker-2019-191">[191]</a><a href="#cite_note-Fandos-2019a-194">[194]</a> Democrats criticized Barr's statement as "incendiary", saying the statement was intended to please Trump and that the statement lacked credibility following Barr's misrepresentation of the Mueller report in March 2019.<a href="#cite_note-Tucker-2019-191">[191]</a><a href="#cite_note-Desiderio-2019-193">[193]</a><a href="#cite_note-Fandos-2019a-194">[194]</a> Barr said he thought there was not "any pejorative connotation at all" to the term spying.<a href="#cite_note-Stracqualursi-2019-196">[196]</a> At the time, Barr said he would not launch an investigation into <a href="/wiki/Timeline_of_Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_elections#20160506" title="Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections">the origins</a> of the FBI probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.<a href="#cite_note-Desiderio-2019-193">[193]</a> FBI officials denied Barr's claims about spying.<a href="#cite_note-197">[197]</a> FBI Director <a href="/wiki/Christopher_A._Wray" title="Christopher A.

Barr reportedly raised doubts multiple times about the validity of the charges against Cohen, including requesting the <a href="/wiki/Office_of_Legal_Counsel" title="Office of Legal Counsel">Office of Legal Counsel</a> to draft a memo with legal arguments which could have helped Cohen's case. Barr's efforts were reportedly stemmed by the prosecutors of the Southern District of New York. Ultimately, Cohen's conviction was not changed.<a href="#cite_note-undermine-242">[242]</a> In February 2020, President Trump directly referenced Barr in the Justice Department's intercession in recommending a lighter sentence for Trump's associate and old friend <a href="/wiki/Roger_Stone" title="Roger Stone">Roger Stone</a>. Trump's tweet stated: "Congratulations to Attorney General Bill Barr for taking charge of a case that was totally out of control and perhaps should not have even been brought." Initially, four career prosecutors had recommended that Stone serve a jail term of between seven and nine years. A Trump tweet followed: "Cannot allow this miscarriage of justice!" – after which the department recommended an unspecified jail term. The department claimed that this later decision was made without consulting the White House. The prosecutors resigned from the case as a result, with one choosing to leave the department.<a href="#cite_note-243">[243]</a><a href="#cite_note-244">[244]</a> Barr affirmed that he had made the decision in the Stone case to change the sentencing memo. Barr said Trump had not asked him to step in, but noted that Trump's tweets and public comments make it impossible for the attorney general to do his job. "I think it's time to stop the tweeting about Department of Justice criminal cases," Barr said.<a href="#cite_note-245">[245]</a><a href="#cite_note-246">[246]</a> Barr's rebuke of Trump's use of Twitter for interference in DOJ matters were seen as a rare departure from his usual unwavering support of the president.

In late April or early May, Jensen recommended to Barr that the charges be dropped.<a href="#cite_note-Balsamo-256">[256]</a> The Justice Department announced in May 2020 that the charges against Flynn would be dropped, with Jensen stating that Barr had agreed with his recommendation.<a href="#cite_note-Balsamo-256">[256]</a> Shortly after, Barr was asked in a media interview if given that Flynn "admitted lying to the FBI. Does the fact remain that he lied?" Barr replied that "people sometimes plead to things that turn out not to be crimes ... the Department of Justice is not persuaded that this was material to any legitimate counterintelligence investigation. So it was not a crime." Barr denied that he was carrying out the president's agenda on this case, stating that he was "doing the law's bidding". He also said that from this case, he wanted to show Americans that "there's only one standard of justice," instead of two standards of justice.<a href="#cite_note-257">[257]</a> Between Trump's election and inauguration, Flynn had phone conversations with Russian ambassador <a href="/wiki/Sergey_Kislyak" title="Sergey Kislyak">Sergey Kislyak</a> that were incidentally intercepted by American intelligence in the course of routine surveillance of Russian agents. Among other topics, Flynn discussed sanctions imposed on Russia by the <a href="/wiki/Obama_administration" class="mw-redirect" title="Obama administration">Obama administration</a> for <a href="/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_elections" title="Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections">Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections</a>. Per policy regarding American persons, Flynn's identity was <a href="/wiki/Unmasking_by_U.S._intelligence_agencies" title="Unmasking by U.S. intelligence agencies">masked</a> before accounts of his conversations were distributed to high-level Obama administration officials. Some officials, notably national security advisor <a href="/wiki/Susan_Rice" title="Susan Rice">Susan Rice</a>, were so concerned by the accounts that they requested Flynn's identity be unmasked, per procedure. After the unmasking was reported by the press, Trump and his allies insisted it was evidence the Obama administration was spying on him and his associates for political purposes. In May 2020, Barr spokesperson Kerri Kupec announced on the program of Fox News host <a href="/wiki/Sean_Hannity" title="Sean Hannity">Sean Hannity</a> that Barr had appointed U.S. attorney <a href="/wiki/John_Bash" title="John Bash">John Bash</a> to investigate.

The Bash investigation was quietly closed five months later, with no public announcement or report, reportedly finding nothing improper. Bash's 52-page report, previously classified top secret, was released in May 2022. Bash wrote he had found no evidence that any unmasking requests were made for any political or otherwise improper reasons during the 2016 election period or the ensuing presidential transition.<a
