Opposed to the president
Trump targets his attorney general
Even a month after the election, the president of the United States, Trump, clings to his unfounded allegations of massive electoral fraud. He’s even more upset that his own Minister of Justice recently contradicted him. But he wants to hold on to it, for now.
After the direct contradiction regarding the alleged electoral fraud, the current president of the United States, Donald Trump, has left open if he wants to hold on to the Minister of Justice, William Barr. “He hasn’t done anything yet,” Trump said on the sidelines of a White House ceremony.
If Barr looked, he would find evidence of voter fraud, Trump claimed. “You didn’t look closely, which is, to be honest, a disappointment because it’s a massive fraud.” When asked by a reporter if he still trusts Barr, Trump said, “Ask me that in a few weeks.”
The Republican incumbent has yet to admit defeat to Joe Biden and continues to claim that his Democratic rival won the Nov.3 election due to massive fraud. Attorney General Barr said in an interview Tuesday that he had not seen any evidence of fraud to the extent that it could have led to a different election result.
Another setback in Wisconsin
Barr is considered a close ally of Trump. The president has yet to give up his attempts to tilt the election result in his favor with a wave of lawsuits. However, the American courts have already thwarted numerous lawsuits. Trump has now reiterated his charge that the election was “probably the most fraudulent” in history. US officials said the vote was the safest in US history.
Meanwhile, Trump suffered another setback. The Wisconsin Supreme Court refused to adjudicate a lawsuit that sought, among other things, to get Trump’s attorneys to ignore more than 220,000 postal ballots. Even if the court is empowered to take the claim, it is a matter of dispute that must be heard by lower courts, one of the judges said in the decision.
Wisconsin has already officially confirmed the results of the presidential election with the victory of Trump’s challenger, Joe Biden, in the state. Of the roughly three million votes cast, Biden received 20,000 more than the Republican incumbent.
