Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday the Justice Department has not uncovered evidence of enough widespread voter fraud to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. “To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told the AP.
Last month, Barr issued a directive to U.S. attorneys across the country allowing them to pursue any “substantial allegations” of voting irregularities if they existed before the 2020 presidential election was certified. That memorandum gave prosecutors the ability to go around longstanding Justice Department policy that normally would prohibit such overt actions before the election was certified.
“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told the AP.
Meanwhile, President Trump and his lawyers are continuing the lawsuits:
Hope everybody is watching @OANN right now. Other media afraid to show. People are coming forward like never before. Large truck carrying hundreds of thousands of fraudulent (FAKE) ballots to a voting center? TERRIBLE – SAVE AMERICA!
