Nothing that could affect the outcome of the election
“So far, we have not seen fraud to such an extent that it could affect the outcome of the election,” said Minister Barr. “There is one allegation about systematic fraud that the machines have been programmed to fundamentally change the results … The Department of Homeland Security and Justice has begun to investigate, and so far we have not seen anything to confirm it,” he added.

According to the AP, such statements are especially straightforward in the submission of Barr, who was one of Trump’s closest allies. Before the elections, for example, he repeatedly speculated that correspondence voting could lead to manipulation of the results. In the months before the election, Trump portrayed distance voting as a huge problem, although he has a long history in the United States.

Giuliani: The minister has no knowledge
Shortly after Barr’s statement, Trump’s legal team responded by claiming that the Justice Department may not have conducted any investigations.

“With the utmost respect for the Minister of Justice, his opinion appears to be without any knowledge or investigation of fundamental irregularities and evidence of systematic fraud,” wrote Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, along with other team member Jenna Ellis, saying they will continue their unsuccessful attempt to reverse the result of the vote.

They reiterated their previous claims that they have many witnesses who are willing to testify about the alleged fraud under oath, and that the Democrats cheated, for example, by manipulating the voting machines on which Americans fill their votes.
–
However, their alleged evidence has so far been rejected by all the courts before which Trump’s campaign appeared after the election.
