The Justice Department dissociates itself from Donald Trump.

"At this point, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could change the outcome of the presidential election," Attorney General Bill Barr said in an interview with the agency on Tuesday. Associated Press.

His department, on which the FBI depends, in particular investigated the voting machines using the software developed by the Dominion company, without finding any evidence that votes were changed as claimed by a former lawyer for Donald Trump. .

The American president himself repeats on Twitter that the election was "rigged".

Fervent support of Donald Trump, Bill Barr authorized his services three weeks ago to investigate "substantial allegations of irregularities concerning the votes or the counting of ballots" during the presidential election on November 3.

"There have been allegations of systematic fraud, according to which machines have been programmed to distort election results," he reminded AP.

But the Ministries of Homeland Security and Justice “have investigated and, so far, have found nothing to back it up.

Donald Trump's last resort in Wisconsin

These remarks by Bill Barr come as the six closest states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona) have now all validated the results of the ballot and the victory of Joe Biden.

But the US president does not surrender, two weeks before the official vote of the electorate's grand voters, which is due to take place on December 14.

On Tuesday, his legal team filed a final appeal in the Wisconsin Supreme Court to challenge more than 200,000 ballots, saying they may have been sent to voters who did not directly request them.

In Pennsylvania, after a defeat at first instance and on appeal, Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani promised he would ask the Supreme Court to take up the case.

But because the complaint is above all technical without mentioning fraud, the nine judges could decide to kick in touch and refuse to look into the matter.

For Donald Trump, however, all is not lost: by surfing his accusations of fraud, the American president has already raised more than $ 150 million from his supporters.

An amount that he can use to repay campaign debts ... Or finance his next adventure.
