Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche publicly confirmed on national television that the Department of Justice is conducting multiple criminal investigations into the 2020 election, stating there exists “a ton of evidence” suggesting irregularities occurred across several states.

Federal Investigations Underway in Multiple States

During an appearance on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Blanche acknowledged ongoing DOJ investigations examining whether proper voter verification occurred in the 2020 election. The Acting Attorney General explained that investigators are working to determine if eligible voters cast ballots, if those registered to vote actually participated, and whether any individual voted more than once. These investigations span multiple states and involve both federal prosecutors and law enforcement personnel conducting traditional investigative work.

Complexity Slows Investigation Timeline

Blanche addressed public concerns about the length of time required for these investigations. He emphasized that those involved in potential misconduct have proven skilled at concealing their activities, making the investigative process necessarily thorough and time-consuming. The Acting Attorney General assured Americans that once investigators reach conclusions—whether resulting in criminal charges, a formal report, or investigative findings—the public will be informed of what evidence has been uncovered.

FBI Director Signals Potential Arrests

FBI Director Kash Patel has indicated that arrests related to 2020 election crimes may be forthcoming. Recent federal actions have included raids on election warehouses and examinations of voting systems in Maricopa County, Arizona and Fulton County, Georgia. These activities represent the initial phases of what appears to be a broader federal investigation into election administration practices during the 2020 cycle.

Background and Context

The Trump administration’s Department of Justice, previously under Attorney General Pam Bondi and now led by Acting AG Blanche, has pursued these investigations since taking office. Federal authorities have focused their efforts on verifying voter eligibility, examining ballot chain-of-custody procedures, and reviewing election system security measures. These investigations represent the most significant federal examination of the 2020 election since President Trump returned to office, addressing claims that have circulated for more than four years.
