US Attorney General: We have not yet seen fraud to the extent that it could change the outcome of the election

US Attorney General William Barr says that so far there has been no evidence of widespread irregularities in the US presidential election that would have affected its final outcome.

The US Attorney General told the Associated Press on Tuesday, December 1: "So far, we have not seen fraud to the extent that it could change the outcome of the election."

He added: "Federal prosecutors and the FBI are investigating complaints of election fraud, and based on the information they have received, they have not found any evidence that would change the outcome of the election."

A few days after the November 3 election, American media announced that Joe Biden had won the 270 Electoral College votes required to win the presidential election.

The process of officially certifying the election will take several weeks. So far, some key states, including Georgia and Arizona, which have Republican governors, have officially certified Joe Biden's victory. However, President Trump has so far refused to accept defeat and is pursuing legal challenges to the election results in several states.

The transition of power began on December 23, when President Trump wrote on Twitter that "in the best interest of the country," he had asked the General Services Administration and his own administration to carry out the initial protocols for the transition of power.

The new US president will officially begin his term on January 20, after the inauguration ceremony.
