2. Trying to make sense of this line given NYT's detailed reporting👇
Sounds like Barr may just be denying the records were sought under his watch.
And that Barr is not denying his knowledge the records had been sought under Sessions (and that Barr's DOJ maintained gag order).

4. Did Barr need Trump to specifically and confidentially encourage the attorney general to investigate Adam Schiff?
Of course not.
Trump shouted it from the rooftops in tweets and a news conference.
