Acting AG Todd Blanche Claims 'Ton' of 2020 Fraud Evidence, Won't Promise Definitive Answer 6 Years Later
6 articles · Updated · The Daily Beast · May 17
Todd Blanche said on Fox News that the Justice Department has "a ton" of evidence the 2020 election was rigged, but he declined to say investigators will ever deliver a definitive conclusion.
Multiple probes and court challenges over the past 6 years have found no credible evidence of widespread voter fraud, even as Trump and allies keep asserting the election was stolen.
The department is still studying alleged efforts by past administrations to "destroy" Trump and is pursuing a broad election-fraud investigation that drew scrutiny after an FBI raid on a Georgia election facility in January.
Trump, 79, has continued pressing the stolen-election narrative after previously urging Georgia officials to "find 11,780 votes," while allies including Susie Wiles and Steve Bannon say proof will emerge ahead of November's midterms.
