Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.A Justice Department official told ABC News Friday that Attorney General William Barr personally briefed President
President Donald Trump talks to journalists before departing the White House, Sept. 24, 2020, in Washington. "Our investigation has revealed that all or nearly all envelopes received in the elections office were opened as a matter of course," U.S. attorney David Freed said."It was explained to investigators the envelopes used for official overseas, military, absentee and mail-in ballot requests are so similar, that the staff believed that adhering to the protocol of preserving envelopes unopened would cause them to miss such ballot requests.
The series of events raised alarm among critics of the White House who accused the Justice Department of using an ongoing investigation to politically boost President Trump. Prior to the news release from the U.S. attorneys office, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany previewed in her press briefing that more information on the investigation would be forthcoming. Barr was made aware of the investigation after a number of local media outlets in Pennsylvania began reaching out to the U.S. attorney's office for more information and they sought guidance from Main Justice over how to respond, the official said.
How many thousand is the “ small number”?
Two idiots
Yea, you can see that brown spot on his nose
Barr failed to tell Trump it was a Republican that threw the ballots away.
These were Trump votes. Way to keep with your narrative by not saying as much in your headline. I’m sure your coverage of Biden’s complaints of voting irregularities will be posted with an equal amount of dispassion.
Of course, Billy works for Donnie, not America.
That's his job
🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
A small number... Thanks for pointing that out ABC, a small number so nothing to see here? Shame on you, again!
Doesn't the AG have a duty to report particularly when it's occurred before in other states.
There are some wild tweets on here Herm Edwards says read before you send Bet you didn't You sure tweet some dumb things
Well ABC, you must have forgot that trump is the head of the Executive branch of the government, therefore he is the attorney general's boss! So what is the story here?
Only a few people know what really happened.
Small number?
That is what “personal lawyers” do! He should be impeached.
WildBillAG u sold ur soul to the devil! u will pay for it! JUST WAIT!
Two dangerous pricks....
No Low is Low Enough for the Trump Regime, So Much Energy Invested in How to Lie & Scheme! Divert & Deflect, at Anyone Else's Expense, That's How a Con-Man Rolls; Just Plays the Offense! Those Who Can See, Hear & Have a Conscience are Disgusted, That Don & Reps Can't Be Trusted!
Democrats eagerly want to win presidency election with dirty measures.
So Trump accidentally let the scheme slip in the morning interview?
DisbarBarr
Truth hurts
More Trump corruption!
9 ballots!
Great
Why are they not impeaching Bar?
This is nothing more than a stunt pulled by Donald Trump and Barr to insinuate mail fraud in mail in votings.
What does this have to do w ACB becoming a SCOTUS justice?
Wiliam Barr is Trump's personal lawyer, not our Attorney General. Barr must be impeached.
Lol.. He told the President before the media found out 😭😭
'A small number of ballots found discarded.' Does that mean it is okay for the Democrats to commit voter fraud, ballot harvesting, toss Republicans ballots!!! This election is a travesty, and and everybody else knows it!
Trump can't even spell DOJ never mind say it or understand what it is
SEVEN BALLOTS!!!!!!!! Please don’t make more of it than it is
Cheating already!
With clear evidence that Trump doesn't listen to the science example look at his rallies the Democrats claim he might rush through a vaccine according to Trump that's dangerous But him trying to throw doubt our election will be legitimate that's not dangerous Wake up America
You know the people who rule him think he is stupid and they feed him all the garbage and propaganda they can, that's all they have to do... TrumpPuppetPresident......
Your point?
If you see something, make sure you take a picture if you can, report it as soon as possible! Protect our votes gop realDonaldTrump
I wouldn’t be surprised if they have people who intentionally do that in each state then blame it on the mail in ballots so that they can cry BS when the election is over.
Personal Consiglieri, toad leapt right to him with the information they had both already agreed upon ahead of time. Impeach this POS already.
One ballot is too many.
When all of it was Bill Barr's doing to fraud all the voting ballots! We can not let Barr get away with this! Put him in mail now for fraud!
This whole thing feels like a bad dream but can’t get my selfie to wake the F up.
Good.
Corrupt
IMPEACH BARR NOW!!!
Bill Barr once again blazing the trail of Propaganda for Trump. He should be Impeached!
Lol ... these two are most likely the perps in this incident. This crap is sooo obvious
They probably set this up!
They are Fascist Criminals and Guilty...
Sham
It was a small number. Nothing to see here. Won't happen again. Certainly not on a national scale. Never happened before. The communists promise.
Made some bullshit up to feed his evil intended imaginative mind is not what we need from anyone working as a public service professional. Or any career
He has nothing else to do.
Good thing he briefed on that and not our soldiers having bounties on them by Putin. Nice priorities.
Small number? Why does media carry water for dem party?
Did he use 'flash cards' to explain it clearly to Trump?
The deceptive part of this here is that elections are governed by state election officials and County so if you're in a democratic state there is not likely to be an investigation if it's Democratic fraud unless the feds do it
It sounds like it was almost, somehow, planned, call me crazy, call me paranoid :-)
Does Trump's Silent Majority still exist in 2020? A new Rasmussen Poll Claims it still Does : I SURE HOPE IT DOES..IF NOT THIS COUNTRY IS IN FOR TOTAL DESTRUCTION IN A VERY SHORT TIME. WE ARE HEADING THERE FAST NOW..HOPE TRUMP WINS WITH RECORD SETTING LANDSLIDE!!!
TheView Rat!!!
Wait... Not been watching the news I live in PA. Please let know cuz I'm living it...
TheView WILL YOU PLEASE REPORT HOW MANY TAX PAYERS DOLLARS WERE SPENT TO MAKE A KNOW UNTRUE FACT now into an investigation? Where is Tax Payer money for joblessness and the cost of everything rising? The only only benefit from hard earned income and the tax paid IS TRUMP'S $$ 🇺🇸 🇺🇸😷
So what are you saying exactly, it is either trump is wrong or his right but not right enough thus only making him further wrong....
Dumb and dumber
Just what the Trump Mafia's Consigliari would do. No surprise.
Don’t let these 2 lie to steal the election.
World let alone the USA is in a state of HELL due to 45! DOJ was never intended to be the personal attorney for POTUS! Barr has violated every federal law past and present! AGOTUS is the people's pulse on Justice! He is definitely not that if he is doing personal things for 45!
And so it begins.
Reporters, ask AG Barr if he is loyal to the Constitution or President Trump. The Constitution supersedes any one President, which one takes priority. If he hesitates or doesn’t or refuses to answer he isn’t loyal to the Constitution! We have all our answers at that point!
TheView All crooked bastards! We deserve and should expect more.
Here's the story KevinSc86173352. Screw Jillian Mele and her bogus teleprompter read
IMPEACH Them.... BOTH!
Bethanie_Cabral This clown works for the people of this country not 45's personal attorney! This is totally wrong. They both should be kicked out of DC for all this lying and manipulation!
It is hysterical that the Republicans asked that they be thrown out. DOJ doing some really important investigating into why the GOP is throwing out Veterans ballots in PA!!
Damage control by the media on display! 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m guessing because of the new Pennsylvania rules, the seven that weren’t sealed and its own envelope should be tossed. Correct?
1 is too many. Your news is fake and transparent.
I can't believe that Trumps delusional insanity could be so contagious until I watched the Republican party. I guess if anyone yells and screams lies at you often enough, you begin to agree, if that is all you hear.
These two are 'as thick as thieves' - very fitting isn't it?
They were discarded because they weren't submitted correctly. Was legal, and not political. Maybe point that out, ABC?
they can share a jail cell
Corrupt dictator
So we have the Attorney General feeding the President fake news? Can we impeach both of them now?
