Durham and the intelligence agencies responded that they couldn't provide any such evidence. Mifsud had interactions with George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign adviser, whose activities prompted the FBI to open its Russia election interference investigation. Horowitz also asked intelligence agencies to search internal systems for records that Misfud had worked as an asset for Western spy agencies -- a claim spread by Papadopolous and conservative allies of the President. The agencies told Horowitz that Misfud was not an asset, one of the people familiar with the report said. Instead, the attorney general has told allies to wait for Durham's investigation, which he believes will be more complete.
