– So far, we have not seen cheating on a scale that may have led to a different result in the elections, says Barr in an interview with the AP news agency.
After the election, which he lost to Democrat Joe Biden, Trump persisted, and without presenting any evidence, with numerous outbursts on Twitter, interviews and other forums that the loss was due to large-scale electoral fraud.
Barr says he’s up front all had one of the many vague claims made by the Trump campaign investigated. That is, the voting machines used would have been manipulated to exchange a vote for Donald Trump for a vote for Joe Biden. Something that one of Trumpsidan’s lawyers, Sidney Powell, claimed but was clearly rejected by the manufacturer of the machines.
– Both the Ministry of Homeland Security and the Ministry of Justice have investigated this, and so far we have not seen anything to support the claim, Barr says in the interview.
Sidney Powell, who also claimed that the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez had been behind rigged voting machines since 2013, was later fired by the Trump campaign. Not for the claim about the machines and Chávez, but for saying that she would “blow up” Georgia “with an atmosphere of” biblical proportions. “
In several states he tried The president’s campaign also invalidates or delays election results through a plethora of lawsuits and court filings.
William Barr also put the FBI and federal prosecutors to work to investigate, which is usually a matter for the states.
The move was controversial. Just hours after Barr’s initiative became known, the official of his own Ministry of Justice resigned, who is the one most responsible for investigating crimes related to the elections in protest against the minister’s directive.
So now Barr says that Nothing on a large scale has been found after the cheating accusations.
– He has been followed up, he says.
Trump recently allowed his administration to begin handing over power to Biden, but he has yet to declare himself defeated.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Trump continued to post his allegations on Twitter.
