Trump's Attorney General Just Threw Trump Under the Bus Over His Election Fraud Claims

Throughout American history, Presidents have abdicated power and stepped aside when—through term limits or the voice of the people—their time was up.

For weeks, President Donald Trump has broken that tradition in his refusal to recognize President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election.


In addition to kneecapping the Biden team's ability to work with the Trump administration towards a transition plan, the President has broadcast lies to his 88 million Twitter followers that widespread voter fraud orchestrated by Democrats tipped the election to Biden.

Trump's legal team—led by Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis—has filed numerous lawsuits, winning only one case out of 40. They've also held what they call hearings on voter fraud in a number of swing state hotel ballrooms, hosting Republican state lawmakers and propping up so-called witnesses of voting irregularities.

Despite these efforts, it's clear that Biden won the election legitimately and Trump's legal team has yet to provide any evidence to the contrary.

Now, even Trump's own Attorney General—William Barr—says the Justice Department's investigation into voter fraud came up short.

Barr told the Associated Press:

"To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election."

Barr is widely considered by Trump's critics as one of the most corrupt Attorneys General in American history, frequently advocating for the President, intervening in cases on his behalf and withdrawing the Department's own criminal lawsuits against the President's allies.

Barr's admission that even he can't drum up evidence to justify Trump's bogus claims of fraud paints a grim picture for the outgoing President.





The President's legal team reacted to Barr's words with more lies about the election, saying in a statement:

"With all due respect to the Attorney General, there hasn't been any semblance of a Department of Justice investigation. We have gathered ample evidence of illegal voting in at least six states, which they have not examined ... Again, with respect to the Attorney General, his opinion appears to be without any knowledge or investigation of the substantial irregularities and evidence of systemic fraud."

Trump's supporters are none too happy with his Attorney General.




Barr hasn't stopped acting in Trump's best interests though.

On Tuesday, Barr appointed attorney John Durham as special counsel to investigate the origins of the Russia investigation, which Trump frequently claims was a "witch hunt."

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
