Dec 2020: AG Barr ordered E. Dist. PA to halt PA election fraud investigation

In December 2020, U.S. Attorney William Mc wain was instructed by Attorney General Bill Barr to stand down on an investigation related to the 2020 Presidential Election in Pennsylvania. McSwain later wrote a letter to former President Trump expressing disagreement with Barr's directives. The details of the investigation, including witnesses and their testimonies, are not directly detailed in the provided context. McSwain was involved in investigating Jesse Morgan’s claim that he hauled hundreds of thousands of completed mail-in ballots from NY to PA. Barr's public claims of no significant fraud contrasted with his private actions to limit investigations, as highlighted by McSwain's account and other sources.
