A Justice Department official told ABC News that Attorney General William Barr personally briefed President Trump about the DOJ’s investigation into a small number of ballots in Pennsylvania that were found to be discarded, prior to the information being made public.
President Trump went on to first reveal the investigation in an interview with Fox News Radio, where he, without evidence, argued that it bolsters his baseless claims of widespread fraud in mail-in voting.
Chris Hayes: “Yes, but did they do it on a tarmac? That’s all that counts.”
