The
US attorney tasked by Attorney General William Barr to review instances
of "unmasking" -- the practice of releasing the names of American
citizens who are caught up in National Security Agency foreign
intelligence reports -- done around the 2016 election has completed the
probe without bringing any charges, people familiar with the matter told
The Washington Post.
While
Republicans for months have hyped the Obama-era unmasking requests as
an enormous scandal, John Bash found no evidence of substantive
wrongdoing in his investigation, which has concluded without a public
report, the Post said. Bash left his role with the Justice Department
last week.
