WASHINGTON - Outgoing Attorney General William Barr said Monday he saw no basis for the federal government seizing voting machines and that he did not intend to appoint a special counsel to investigate allegations of voter fraud - again breaking with President Donald Trump as the commander in chief entertains increasingly desperate measures to overturn the election.
At a news conference to announce charges in a decade old terror case, Barr - who has just two days left in office - was peppered with questions about whether he would consider steps proposed by allies of the president to advance Trump s claims of massive voter fraud.
Utah Sen. Mitt Romney knows what it’s like to lose a presidential race, and it’s time for President Donald Trump to move on from falsely claiming the election was stolen.
Romney also said in appearances on network news programs the past two days that President-election Joe Biden is going to be in a very difficult position as a result of Trump’s efforts to overturn the will of voters.
“The biggest concern that I have is that people here genuinely believe that somehow this election was stolen and there’s no evidence of that. The president was saying that it was stolen even before Election Day happened. He said if he loses it would be fraud. Well, no one knows that,” he told Shephard Smith in a CNBC interview Monday night.
