AG Barr says John Durham’s Russia probe won’t be done before election

Connecticut US Attorney John Durham is not expected to release the findings of his review of the FBI’s Russia probe until after the Nov. 3 election — a bitter disappointment to Republicans who believe revelations in a report would galvanize support for President Trump.

Attorney General William Barr has communicated the news to Republicans on Capitol Hill, dashing hopes of a bombshell report that validates Trump’s contention he was smeared as a Russian colluder by “dirty cops” and powerful Democrats.

A Trump administration source told The Post that “if there’s a chance people can be prosecuted, we can’t put out a report before [that happens].”

The administration source said that there remains the possibility of additional prosecutions.
