US Attorney General Bill Barr has given his consent to conduct investigations into possible irregularities in the presidential elections, which took place on the third of November, which the outgoing President Donald Trump confirms that they witnessed "fraud", without providing any evidence of them. Meanwhile, President-elect Joe Biden's team called the General Services Administration to acknowledge their victory to start the power transfer.

Barr, who is one of the closest ministers to Trump, stressed that the permission given to the country's federal prosecutors does not indicate that the Justice Department has evidence of actual fraud.

He wrote in his message to them: "I allow you to investigate major allegations of major voting irregularities, and count votes before confirming election results in your regions, in some cases."

He added, "These investigations can be carried out in the event of clear and credible allegations of irregularities, which, if proven, could affect the outcome of the elections at the state level."

After the US Attorney General issued these orders, Biden's campaign said that "Barr" feeds Trump's unreasonable allegations, while the official in charge of the electoral crimes department, Richard Pilger, announced his resignation, according to what was reported by several national media.

"After I studied the new rules and their ramifications, I have unfortunately have to resign from my position," Pelger said in an email to his team, according to what was reported by The New York Times.

Investigations into possible electoral fraud are usually the prerogative of each state to set and supervise its own electoral rules. The US Department of Justice does not intervene in such cases until the results are confirmed and the recounts are completed.

Donald Trump's electoral team is waging court battles in several states, which Joe Biden won by a narrow margin, especially Pennsylvania and Nevada, in an attempt to contest the results.

However, the Trump camp efforts have little chance of reaching a conclusion, as many local officials have asked the Trump campaign to provide evidence about allegations of fraud.

The Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit to prevent Pennsylvania officials from officially announcing Biden's victory in the state, and the suit alleges that the state's postal voting system violates the US Constitution by establishing an illegal two-tiered voting system, adding: “The mail-in voting system lacks all signs of transparency and verification. , Existing in the voters vote themselves ».

The lawsuit seeks to obtain an emergency injunction to prevent state officials from certifying Joe Biden's victory.

"It is unlikely that the latest lawsuit will succeed," said Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. "It seems more like a repeat of many of the arguments made by Trump's legal team, in the courtroom and beyond."

In addition, an official in the transition team for the US President-elect, Joe Biden, said that the General Services Administration must acknowledge Biden's victory in the elections, over the incumbent President Donald Trump, in order for the transition process to begin.

The official said that the General Services Administration usually acknowledges the victory of the presidential candidate when the winner becomes clear, and added that the transition team may take legal action.

Usually, the General Services Administration recognizes the presidential candidate, when it is clear that he won, so that the transition process can begin, but this has not happened so far, and the law does not oblige the administration to a specific date to move in this direction.
