The Attorney General of the United States, William Barr, said Tuesday that the Department of Justice did not find any evidence of fraud that could have altered the results of the elections held on November 3, which the Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, won.
“To date, we have not seen fraud of such magnitude that it could have affected a different outcome in the elections,” Barr said in an interview with the Associated Press (AP) news agency.
Barr, a member of the Administration of US President Donald Trump, explained that the complaints that point in this regard have been investigated, but has reiterated that no evidence has been found to support the claims of widespread fraud in the elections, as The president denounces without providing evidence.
Also, he rejected the accusations of fraud through the voting machines, assuring that his office has not seen “anything” to justify them. He is apparently referring to the assertions made by a former Trump attorney, Sidney Powell, who said that former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez was involved in some way in the “manipulation” of the elections.
Suspicions about the choice
Barr, who has been seen entering the White House after the interview was published, has also pointed out that there are issues that must be handled with civil lawsuits and has criticized certain sectors trying to turn these matters into federal criminal trials, which is has interpreted Trump supporters as a possible criticism.
“There is a growing trend to use the criminal justice system as a kind of default arrangement, and people who don’t like something want the Justice Department to come and investigate,” he said.
For its part, the US president’s legal team issued a statement in which it regretted that “there has been no appearance of an investigation by the Department of Justice” and has continued to insist that they have evidence of the alleged fraud committed in the elections. .
Lawyers for the Democratic Party, who monitor the complaints presented by Trump’s team to try to stop the certification of the votes of several states considered key to winning the elections, such as Wisconsin, have detailed that, so far, the president has lost 40 cases and has only won one.
