Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday that there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, defying President Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to reverse the results.
“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election,” Barr said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Barr’s comments are some of the sharpest rejections yet from a Cabinet member of Trump’s false and baseless claims of a “rigged” election.
