Attorney General William Barr publicly stated the Justice Department had found no evidence of widespread election fraud sufficient to affect the outcome of the 2020 election — directly contradicting President Trump’s false claims. Barr made similar statements on December 21, 2020. The statements were documented in Senate Judiciary Committee transcripts of Acting Deputy AG Richard Donoghue, who described direct confrontations with Trump over these claims. Barr resigned days later. (Source: AP; Donoghue Senate Judiciary Committee transcript)
