Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte is not concerned about reports that US Attorney General William Barr held secret meetings with Italian intelligence agencies, Conte’s office said on Thursday. Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported on Wednesday that Barr met with the intelligence services as part of an investigation by President Donald Trump’s administration into the origins of the probe of Russian interference in the 2016 US election. “Prime Minister Conte sees no anomalous behaviour on the part of our secret services,” a statement from Conte’s office said, adding that he would address a parliamentary committee for security about the reported meetings.
