“Some media outlets have incorrectly reported that the DOJ has concluded its investigation of election fraud and announced an affirmative finding of no fraud in the election. That is not what the Associated Press reported nor what the Attorney General stated,” a DOJ spokesperson said, according to CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge. She continued, “The Department will continue to receive and vigorously pursue all specific and credible allegations of fraud as expeditiously as possible.”

Attorneys for the Trump campaign issued a response to Barr’s comments, explaining that the many witnesses they are working with have not been contacted by the FBI.
“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. We have many witnesses swearing under oath they saw crimes being committed in connection with voter fraud. As far as we know, not a single one has been interviewed by the DOJ.
