U.S. Attorney General William Barr said the Department of Justice (DOJ) did not find any widespread election fraud that could change President-elect Joe Biden’s victory to President Donald Trump.
Attorney General Barr’s made his comment to the Associated Press on Tuesday, weakening Pres. Trump and his campaign’s repeated claims that the 2020 presidential election is rigged.
Agents at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and U.S. Attorneys have been investigating complaints and information submitted to them. However, they did not see evidence that would overturn the result of the presidential election, according to the nation’s top law enforcement officer.
“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” said Attorney General Barr, who is one of Pres. Trump’s strongest supporters. Take note that he repeatedly raised concerns that mail-in voting could potentially result to significant election fraud.
Attorney General Barr explained, “Most claims of fraud are very particularized to a particular set of circumstances or actors or conduct. They are not systemic allegations … And those have been run down; they are being run down.”
