Attorney General William Barr disputed accounts that the White House requested that he defend President Donald Trump's call to Ukraine.

Attorney General William Barr on Wednesday disputed accounts that the White House requested that he hold a news conference to defend President Donald Trump's call to his Ukrainian counterpart in which the president pressed for an investigation of political rival Joe Biden.

On a separate issue, Barr indicated that release of the Justice Department inspector general’s review of the FBI’s surveillance of Trump campaign associates was"imminent." Barr's remarks came as the House Intelligence Committee in Washington opened the public phase of its impeachment inquiry into the president's phone call July 25 with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
