[Washington Examiner] Fox Business host Lou Dobbs said he received word that the FBI is investigating the 2020 election.As he discussed President Trump's legal challenges of the results in some battleground states with attorney Sidney Powell, a member of Trump's legal team, Dobbs cut in to say a "highly reliable source" informed him that the FBI has an investigative team looking into the election results.
"I do have some news to break here at this moment. I have now received word from a highly reliable source that the FBI does have an investigative team that is now looking into this election. Now, what that means beyond that — but at least its confirmation that they are investigating, and we'll see what moves," Dobbs said.
Later in his show, Dobbs spoke with former Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who was the GOP chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and said the FBI was investigating "astonishing acts of misconduct, for days, associated with the vote count." He added that he believes it has to do with a "manipulation" of the overall vote tally but did not specify where the vote tally was influenced, nor did he provide evidence to support his claims.
Asked about Dobbs's claim, FBI spokeswoman Carol Cratty told the Washington Examiner: "The FBI has no comment in keeping with our standard practice to neither confirm nor deny conducting particular investigations."
Spokeswoman Cratty was unable to confirm whether their 'best men were actually on the job.'
