BARACK Obama and Joe Biden “won’t be indicted for spying on Donald Trump’s campaign” before the election, despite the president demanding that they face charges.
Attorney General Bill Barr has told Republicans that they should not expect any charges of a thorough investigation until after the November 3 election, sources told Axios.

“This is the nightmare scenario. Essentially, the year and a half of arguably the number one issue for the Republican base is virtually meaningless if this doesn’t happen before the election,” a GOP congressional aide told the outlet.
The president said “these people should be indicted” during a Fox Business interview on Thursday morning, naming the Democratic duo.
“These are people that spied on my campaign – and we have everything – and now they say ‘we have much more,’ and I say, ‘[Attorney General] Bill [Barr], we got plenty, you don’t need anymore,'” Trump continued.
“We’ve got so much, Maria, just take a look at the [former FBI Director James] Comey report, 78 pages of kill, done by [DOJ Inspector General Michael] Horowitz,” he added.
“Unless Bill Barr indicts these people for crimes, the greatest political crime in the history of our country, then we’re going to get little satisfaction unless I win and we’ll just have to go, because I won’t forget it,” Trump said.
“But these people should be indicted, this was the greatest political crime in the history of our country and that includes Obama and it includes Biden. These are people that spied on my campaign and we have everything.”
Trump broke the news on Tuesday night confirming that he had declassified relevant documents against key Democratic party members.
The president tweeted: “I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax.
“Likewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!”
The president was responding to a Monday tweet from conservative journalist Paul Sperry.
Sperry’s tweet read: “When all the documents are finally declassified, and all the redactions removed from reports, the nation will see that the FBI and CIA not only knew the Russia ‘collusion’ allegations against Trump were a political dirty trick, but that they were in on the trick.”
A new letter from Trump’s intel chief said Clinton allegedly planned to “stir up a scandal” against Trump in 2016 – connecting him with Vladimir Putin and Russia.
An email scandal plagued former Secretary of State Clinton in 2016.
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe wrote to Senator Lindsey Graham and claimed that Clinton “approved a campaign” to vilify Trump in 2016.
It further claimed that Obama was briefed of Clinton’s plan by Brennan.
At the time, Clinton was a candidate for president in the 2016 race.
