In Major Blow to Trump, Atty General Bill Barr Says There's No Evidence of Fraud that Would Change Election Outcome

The United States Attorney General William Barr says the Justice Department has uncovered no evidence of any fraud that would change the outcome of the election. The Associated Press published an interview with Barr Tuesday covering the statement. Previously, the attorney general has stood by President Donald Trump's claims of widespread fraud in his loss to President-elect Joe Biden. 

The President-elect is sending a message to Americans, "Help is on the way." Biden formally introduced his new economic team in Wilmington, Delaware; however, he is already facing pushback. The Wall Street Journal editorial board criticized the team. 

The Trump campaign is responding to a plea from a top Georgia election official asking the President to, "stop inciting acts of violence." Gabriel Sterling, the Voting Systems Manager for the Georgia Secretary of State's office, condemned threats of physical violence and intimidation against election workers and officials Tuesday. The Trump Campaign responded saying in part, "no one should engage in threats or violence."

The United States has hit a new record high for coronavirus hospitalization. There are currently close to 100,000 people in the hospital. 

Health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities will be first in line for any coronavirus vaccines. The vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease and Control Prevention voted to include both groups.
