On December 2, 2019, House Republicans released their minority report on the impeachment inquiry. Barr’s calendars show he was at the White House without anything on his schedule on the same day.

On December 5, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi asked the House Judiciary Committee to draft articles of impeachment. The next day, Dec. 6, Barr had a White House meeting.
On December 9, lawyers testified in a Judiciary Committee hearing and argued their cases for and against impeachment. That same day, Barr had a meeting at the White House.
Also on December 9, Barr had a phone call with Jonathan Turley, a law professor who testified in opposition to impeachment just days prior to the call.
There’s more. The documents further reveal the close contacts between Barr and John Durham, the U.S. Attorney tapped to probe the origins of the Russia investigation as a counter to the Mueller report.
Records we previously obtained showed Barr was unusually involved in Durham’s investigation — meeting with him 18 times in the 7 months after the Mueller investigation ended in March 2019.

Barr’s calendars show frequent contact with Durham. Barr called Durham on August 16, 2019. On August 8, Rudy Giuliani told Fox News that Durham was “spending a lot of time in Europe” to investigate what happened in Ukraine.
These records also show Barr met with John Durham on August 20 and September 3, 2019.
On October 23, Barr had a White House meeting. That same day, Durham’s investigation was turned into a criminal probe.
