President Biden's nominee for deputy attorney general Lisa Monaco on Tuesday signaled her support for Special Counsel John Durham to continue his investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. GARLAND SEES 'NO REASON' WHY DURHAM SHOULD NOT CONTINUE HIS INVESTIGATION"Mr. Durham has been allowed to stay on, and I have no reason to think that’s wrong," Monaco said. "As deputy attorney general, it will be my job to make sure he has the resources and I will be committed to doing that." Monaco's response comes after Biden’s nominee for attorney general Judge Merrick Garland also said he saw "no reason" why Durham should not be left in place to complete his investigation. Former Attorney General William Barr, last October, tapped Durham as special counsel to ensure he could continue his investigation during the Biden administration.
