Wall Street Journal: “President Trump accused federal law-enforcement agencies run by his own appointees of ignoring his claims of mass election fraud, as his legal setbacks continued to mount. ‘Missing in action,’ Mr. Trump said during an interview Sunday on Fox News. ‘You would think if you’re in the FBI or Department of Justice, this is the biggest thing you could be looking at. Where are they? I’ve not seen anything.’ No evidence of widespread voter fraud has surfaced, and homeland-security officials in early November called the 2020 contest won by former Vice President Joe Biden ‘the most secure election in U.S. history.'”
Federal officials also have agreed with state election authorities that they have seen no evidence that voting systems were tampered with. Multiple federal judges-including some appointed by Mr. Trump-have dismissed Trump campaign complaints, saying they lacked proof backing up allegations of fraud. The Federal Bureau of Investigation declined to comment Sunday on Mr. Trump’s remarks. The Justice Department didn’t respond to a request for comment. Sunday’s complaints about the two agencies follow earlier criticism by Mr. Trump against officials at both. The president has expressed frustration in recent months with Attorney General William Barr for not more aggressively probing shortcomings in the FBI’s investigation into members of Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and any links to Russia’s election-interference efforts. Mr. Trump on Sunday maintained claims of widespread fraud in Mr. Biden’s victory. ‘And how the FBI and Department of Justice-I don’t know,’ he said. ‘Maybe they are involved. But how people are allowed to get away from this stuff-with this stuff is unbelievable. This election was rigged.'”
