Washington (CNN) John Durham, the federal prosecutor reviewing the FBI's Russia investigation for Attorney General William Barr, has sought information about the bureau's handling of the Clinton Foundation investigation, according to a report from The New York Times. Durham was tapped by Barr last year to examine the origins of the FBI's 2016 investigation into Russia and the Trump campaign, but Thursday's report from the Times suggests the scope of Durham's investigation is broader. According to the Times, Durham's team suggested to others that they're looking at whether the investigators in the Russia probe flouted laws or policies -- and that they were comparing the FBI Russia probe to the Clinton Foundation investigation. The Times noted that it's unclear if Durham's team was looking for similar violations in the FBI's Clinton Foundation investigation. The newspaper also said it was not clear whether the comparison between the two FBI investigations would weigh into the outcome of Durham's inquiry for Barr.
