Donald Trump complains that his election victory was “stolen” by fraud. His Minister of Justice is now contradicting himself.
According to US Attorney General William Barr, the US Department of Justice has so far found no evidence of large-scale voter fraud, as US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed. “We have not seen any fraud to a degree that could have led to a different election result,” Barr said of the AP news agency, contradicting Trump, who is trying to challenge the election result with a wave of lawsuits.
Barr said he did not consider “cheating” enough to invalidate Joe Biden’s presidential victory. “There have been allegations of systematic fraud that voting machines have been programmed to falsify election results,” he said. But the Ministries of National Security and Justice “have made inquiries and at the moment they have not found anything to support.”
Donald Trump on Sunday blamed the Justice Department and the Federal Police FBI for not helping him in his fight to prove the fraud.
Trump’s lawyers talk about evidence
In early November, contrary to custom, Barr authorized federal attorneys to investigate suspected fraud without waiting for the states to confirm the results. However, he had asked them to intervene only in the event of “substantial” and “credible” allegations.
Trump’s lawyers rejected Barr’s interpretation. “There was no indication” of an investigation by the Department of Justice, announced the lawyers of Trump, Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis: “We have collected extensive evidence of illegal voting in at least six states.”
The ministry did not verify this evidence and testimony. Barr appears to have made up his mind “without any knowledge or investigation of the substantial wrongdoing and evidence of systematic fraud.”
