The U.S. Justice Department has not found evidence of election fraud that could have turned the result of the 2020 election, Attorney General Bill Barr told the Associated Press on Tuesday.

Barr’s statement cuts against President Donald Trump’s claims of widespread fraud and comes weeks after Barr first instructed the DOJ to probe any election fraud claims they may receive. Barr was also seen entering the White House soon after his interview with the AP, according to White House pool reports. Trump has still not conceded the election, with White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany saying he won’t until his legal challenges are exhausted.

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told the AP. (RELATED: REPORT: Rudy Giuliani Has Discussed Receiving Preemptive Pardon With Trump)

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller, but Trump campaign lawyer Rudy Giuliani issued a statement soon after the AP’s report.

“With all due respect to the Attorney General, there hasn’t been any semblance of a Department of Justice investigation,” Giuliani said. “We have gathered ample evidence of illegal voting in at least six states, which they have not examined. We have many witnesses swearing under oath they saw crimes being committed in connection with voter fraud. As far as we know, not a single one has been interviewed by the DOJ. The Justice Department also hasn’t audited any voting machines or used their subpoena powers to determine the truth.”

Barr also appeared to throw cold water on allegations from pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, who claims Dominion voting machines were programed to gift Biden extra votes. He did not mention her by name, however.

“There’s been one assertion that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results. And the DHS and DOJ have looked into that, and so far, we haven’t seen anything to substantiate that,” Biden told the AP.

Trump and his campaign still have a number of lawsuits in play in Wisconsin and elsewhere, but their number is dwindling. The December 8 deadline for election challenges is also fast approaching, and the campaign’s lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada have all been withdrawn or thrown out, to name a few.

Trump alleges that millions of mail-in ballots were wrongly accepted and broke for Biden and that GOP poll watchers were kept from having “meaningful access” to the voting process. His campaign argued in a Tuesday lawsuit that more than 220,000 votes were wrongly counted in Wisconsin, a state Biden won by more than 20,000 votes. Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers certified the state’s results on Monday. The Electoral College will officially vote to certify the national results December 14.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
