The Donald Trump campaign sued Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, accused that the mail-in vote counting system was less stringent than in-person votes. A “double standard” that represents a “constitutional violation”. Pennsylvania is the state that gave victory to Joe Biden who, at the time of his call to victory, had 45,000 votes ahead. The accusation of violation of the Constitution foreshadows the intention of the Trump campaign to get to the bottom of the matter and take the case to the Supreme Court. Although most constitutional judges are conservative, experts tend to consider that the court is highly unlikely to overturn the election result.
US Justice Minister William Barr has authorized the Justice Department to investigate “relevant allegations” of voter fraud. The Associated Press reports. The investigation, Barr said, can be initiated “if there are clear and seemingly credible allegations of wrongdoing. Irregularities that, if actually found, could affect the outcome of an individual state’s election.”
Meanwhile, according to Axios, citing sources close to the White House, the next heads to fall in the Trump administration, after the torpedoing of Defense Secretary Mark Esper, will be that of the director of the CIA, Gina Haspel, and that of the director of the Fbi, Christopher Wray.
“The abrupt removal of Defense Secretary Esper is disturbing evidence of how President Trump intends to use the last days of his office, wreaking havoc on our democracy and on the world,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, underlining how “at this time it is an absolute imperative of a presidential transition characterized by continuity and stability.”
