Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte may address a parliamentary panel on secret meetings between U.S. Attorney General William Barr and Italian intelligence heads, reportedly part of a U.S. investigation into the scandal involving Donald Trump’s possible ties to Russia.
Conte is not concerned and sees no anomaly in the behavior of Italian secret service chiefs, Conte’s office said. The premier would speak to the Rome parliamentary panel on intelligence services, which has members from the lower house and the Senate, before speaking publicly about the meetings, his office said Thursday.
