Special counsel John Durham's investigation into the origins of the FBI's Russia probe cost about $3.8 million over its first year in operation, according to reports released by the Justice Department.
The reports, including one released Wednesday, show Durham's team spent more than $2.8 million on travel, salaries, benefits, IT services and litigative support from October 2020 through September 2021. Other parts of the Justice Department that supported the special counsel's office spent nearly $1 million in that time frame.
