Attorney General William Barr reminded federal prosecutors Monday that they should examine allegations of voting irregularities before states move to certify results in the coming weeks. But the nation’s top federal law enforcement official didn’t provide any indication that the Justice Department has come up with evidence to support President Donald Trump’s claim of massive fraud in last week’s election.
