William Barr, US attorney-general, said on Tuesday he had not seen evidence of voter fraud that would affect the outcome of the presidential election, undermining Donald Trump’s claims the vote was stolen. The assessment by Mr Barr in an interview with the Associated Press was a high-profile rebuke of the president’s unsubstantiated claims of a vast Democratic conspiracy to manipulate voting machines and mail-in ballots to ensure Joe Biden’s victory. Mr Barr, who has been a stalwart ally of Mr Trump, had before the election echoed the president’s warnings about mail ballot fraud. After the vote, the attorney-general stoked Democratic concerns by authorising immediate investigations into election fraud. The Bad thing about the whole sad story is, Trump could Lose. The Good thing about this is the people against Democracy are slowly having to come out of the woodwork .
