Barr doesn't expect investigations into Obama, Biden

Attorney General William Barr said Monday an ongoing internal Justice Department review into the origins of the FBI's probe into President Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign is not expected to lead to a criminal investigation into former President Barack Obama or Vice President Joe Biden. "This cannot be and it will not be a tit-for-tat exercise. We are not going to lower the standards just to achieve a result," Barr said Monday. Watch his remarks.

DOJ reportedly divided over FBI's 2016 probe

Attorney General William Barr is apparently disputing one of the report's main conclusions, that the FBI did have sufficient evidence to launch its investigation into the Trump campaign. CBS News senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge joins CBSN to discuss.
