WASHINGTON – Embattled FBI Director Kash Patel says the bureau has gathered "information" supporting President Donald Trump’s longstanding and debunked claim that the 2020 election was “rigged” against him – and that arrests are coming soon.
“I would say stay tuned this week. You might see a thing or two,” Patel said April 19 on "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo" on Fox News.
Trump for years has repeated his claims that American elections are rigged and that the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden was essentially stolen from him due to voter fraud and other election problems.
Those claims have been investigated and dismissed by courts and election authorities. Trump lost 61 of 62 cases in court by the time his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol to interrupt electoral count proceedings on Jan. 6, 2021.
