WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Monday confirmed that the Justice Department has received information from President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani ahead of the November election, but that anything originating from Ukraine should not be taken "at face value."

Barr spoke at a news conference a day after Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said on the CBS News program "Face the Nation" that the department had created a process so Giuliani could provide information and the department would see if it could be verified.
