Attorney general touts ‘ton of evidence’ for phony election fraud claim, but won’t promise ‘definitive answer’

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said that there’s a “ton of evidence” that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against President Donald Trump during a segment on Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday morning show. 

However, Blanche couldn’t explain why the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) hasn’t released this evidence to the public yet, and even suggested that no criminal charges could be forthcoming – despite claiming that this evidence has existed “for many, many years.”

“What I can tell you is that we have multiple investigations going on in Arizona, in Fulton County, Georgia, and that’s exactly what we’re looking at,” said Blanche. “This is very difficult because they’re very good at hiding misconduct and hiding what they’re doing. And, so that’s why we’re very focused on finding out whether the right people voted, whether people who were supposed to vote voted, whether there was one vote cast per voter, and that’s what we’re doing in multiple states.”

Blanche was responding to comments made by White House Chief of Staff Susan Wiles who said at an event last week that Trump actually won many of the states he lost in his 2020 defeat to President Joe Biden.  

It’s not the first time a DOJ official claimed on Bartiromo’s show that there is imminent proof of a rigged 2020 election. FBI director Kash Patel told Bartiromo on April 19 that not only was the evidence readily available, but that arrests would come as soon as that week. 

Now Blanche is saying that arrests for the alleged crime of conspiring to defraud an entire presidential election are not guaranteed – and that the DOJ ultimately might just release a report. 

“It takes a lot of work to uncover what happened in 2020,” said Blanche, when asked why it was taking so long to publicize the proof. “It takes a lot of old, good-old-fashioned law enforcement, police work, which is what we’re doing, and we have great prosecutors working on it as well, and I assure the American people that as soon as we have something to say for it – whether it’s charges, whether it’s a report, whether it’s the results of an investigation – the American people will learn about what we uncovered.”

When Bartiromo asked if this would be the “definitive answer on whether the 2020 election was stolen,” Blanche gave no guarantees about that either. 

“I’m not going to promise there’s going to be a definitive answer,” said Blanche. “That wouldn’t be fair to you or anybody else, but we are looking at it, and we’re hoping to get one.”
