Trump says DOJ and FBI are ‘missing in action’ amid voter fraud allegations during first interview since election

President Trump said the Department of Justice and the FBI are “missing in action” in investigating potential voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

“Where is the DOJ and the FBI in all of this, Mr. President? You have laid out some serious charges here. Shouldn’t this be something that the FBI is investigating? Are they?” Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo asked Trump on Sunday during his first interview since Election Day.

“Missing in action. Can’t tell you where they are. I ask, ‘Are they looking at it?’ Everyone says, ‘Yes, they’re looking at it,’” Trump responded.

“Where are they with all of this stuff, and what happened to Durham? Where’s Durham? So, you’re asking me a question. These people have been there a long time, and I know FBI, and FBI is great at the levels that we talked about, but it’s inconceivable. You would think if you’re in the FBI or Department of Justice, this is the biggest thing you could be looking at. Where are they? I’ve not seen anything. I mean, they just keep moving along, and they go on to the next president. They’ve been there for a long time. People don’t understand this, they’ve been there for a long time. Some of them have served a lot of different presidents, and they have their own views. All I can say is I haven’t heard, with all of the fraud that’s taken place, nobody has come to me and said, ‘Oh, the FBI’s nabbed, you know, the people that are doing this thing,’” the president elaborated.

“We won the election easily. There’s no way Joe Biden got 80 million votes. I just said, there’s no way Joe Biden beat Barack Obama in the black communities of various cities, and then he did very badly compared to Obama in other cities throughout the United States. There’s no way it happened. This election was a fraud. It was a rigged election.”

Bartiromo slammed the reports of fraud as “disgusting,” saying, “We cannot allow America’s election to be corrupted.”

Trump added earlier in the interview that “a lot of dead people” voted in the election, saying “maybe” the FBI and DOJ are involved in investigating it.

“There are a lot of dead people that so-called voted in this election, but dead people were, in some cases, in many many cases, thousands of cases, voted but also, dead people made application to vote. They were dead 10 years, 15 years, and they actually made application,” he said.

“This is total fraud, and how the FBI and Department of Justice, I don’t know, maybe they’re involved but how people are allowed to get away with this stuff is unbelievable. This election was rigged. This election was a total fraud, and it continues to be as they hide and the problem we have, we go to judges, and people don’t want to get involved. The media doesn’t even want to cover it,” Trump said.
