The team of U.S. Attorney John Durham has interviewed former Australian diplomat Alexander Downer, according to two Australian newspapers.

Durham has been tasked by Attorney General William Barr to probe whether the U.S. government had proper reasons for and acted properly in conducting the Russia investigation, which led to extensive spying on associates of Donald Trump both before and after he became president.
