U.S. Attorney General William Barr has authorized prosecutors to investigate alleged irregularities in the presidential election, prompting a top Justice Department official to resign. U.S. Attorney General William Barr sent a memo Monday saying that since voting ended, it was now “imperative that the American people have confidence” that “the results accurately reflect the will of the voters.” Barr wrote that federal prosecutors could investigate alleged irregularities in the presidential election “if there are clear and apparently credible allegations of irregularities that, if true, could potentially impact the outcome of a federal election in an individual state.” Barr said prosecutors should only investigate “substantial allegations” of irregularities and that “specious, speculative, fanciful or outlandish claims” should be ignored. The attorney general acknowledged that individual states have primary responsibility for conducting elections, but said the Justice Department has “an obligation to ensure that federal elections are conducted in a manner that the American people can have full confidence in their electoral process and their government.” However, critics have said launching the investigation undermines the system because there is no evidence of widespread wrongdoing.
