WASHINGTON - US Attorney General William Barr said on Monday he does not expect a Justice Department review of the FBI's handling of 2016 election interference to lead to criminal investigation for former President Barack Obama or former Vice-President Joe Biden.

"As to President Obama and Vice President Biden, whatever their level of involvement, based on the information I have today, I don't expect Mr Durham's work will lead to a criminal investigation of either man," Barr said, referring to federal prosecutor John Durham, who is reviewing the origins of the investigation of Russia's 2016 election interference.

Trump has not made clear what he is accusing Obama of doing, but the allegations appear to focus on law enforcement actions taken at the end of Obama's presidency.For years before his election, Trump fueled his jump from reality TV star to political figure by championing the false claim that Obama, the first black US president, had not been born in the United States.

Early in his presidency Trump claimed without evidence that Obama had ordered the tapping of his phones in Trump Tower.
