Trump orders new powers for Attorney General's surveillance probe
US President Donald Trump has ordered US intelligence agencies to co-operate with an investigation into whether he was spied on during the 2016 election.
It has long been requested by Mr Trump, who often labels the inquiry into Russian interference a"witch hunt". The memorandum directs the head of intelligence agencies to"promptly provide" information to Mr Barr upon his request. Mr Barr is already subject to intense scrutiny and criticism by Democrats - who have accused him of acting on the president's behalf and not in the national interest.
