Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News that the Department of Justice is running active investigations in multiple states into whether the 2020 presidential election was rigged, and pledged that the American public will see the results.

Appearing on Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures," Blanche described ongoing DOJ probes in Arizona, Georgia, and specifically Fulton County, Georgia. He said investigators are focused on determining "whether the right people voted, whether people who were supposed to vote voted, whether there was one vote cast per voter."

The remarks came after host Maria Bartiromo referenced a statement from White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who Bartiromo said had indicated "we're going to find out that President Trump actually did win certain states in the 2020 election." Bartiromo then pressed Blanche directly: "The president says all the time that the election was rigged. What have you done about that? Do you have any evidence that the election was rigged?"

Blanche did not hedge.

As Breitbart reported, the acting attorney general laid out the DOJ's posture in blunt terms:

"Well, there's a ton of evidence that the election was rigged. That's not something the DOJ needs to tell you about. There's been evidence about that for many, many years. What I can tell you is that we have multiple investigations going on in Arizona, in Georgia, in Fulton County, Georgia. And that's exactly what we're looking at."

Blanche: 'They're very good at hiding misconduct'

Blanche acknowledged that the pace of the investigations has drawn criticism and explained why the work has taken time. He described the subjects of these probes as skilled at concealing wrongdoing.

"This is very difficult, because they're very good. They're very good at hiding up misconduct and hiding what they're doing."

He framed the effort as straightforward law enforcement, not a political exercise. "It takes a lot of old, good old-fashioned law enforcement, police work, which is what we're doing," Blanche said. "And we have great prosecutors working on it as well."

That characterization matters. For years, critics dismissed concerns about 2020 election integrity as conspiracy theories unworthy of serious investigation. Blanche's comments place the full weight of the Department of Justice behind the opposite conclusion, that the questions are serious enough to warrant active criminal-style probes across multiple jurisdictions.

The administration has increasingly signaled that Blanche is a central figure in the president's law enforcement agenda, and these remarks reinforce that role.

Arizona, Georgia, Fulton County: the targets

Blanche named three specific jurisdictions where the DOJ has open investigations: Arizona, Georgia broadly, and Fulton County, Georgia. He did not name specific suspects, case numbers, or offices under scrutiny. But the mention of Fulton County, home to Atlanta and a perennial flashpoint in election disputes, carries particular weight.

Fulton County was at the center of post-2020 election controversies, including disputes over ballot counting, chain-of-custody questions, and the later prosecution of President Trump himself by the Fulton County District Attorney's office. That a federal investigation now targets the same jurisdiction signals a reversal of the accountability lens.

Arizona, too, was a state where election integrity disputes raged for months after 2020. Maricopa County's ballot audit drew national attention and fierce opposition from state and local Democratic officials who called it illegitimate.

The DOJ's decision to investigate in both states suggests the department is not conducting a symbolic review. These are the jurisdictions where the most specific allegations were raised, and where the most aggressive efforts were made to shut down outside scrutiny.

A promise to the public

Perhaps the most significant element of Blanche's appearance was his explicit commitment to public disclosure. He told Bartiromo, and, by extension, the country, that results would not stay buried inside the department.

"I assure you, I assure the American people that as soon as we have something to say for it, whether it's charges, whether it's a report, whether it's the results of an investigation, the American people will learn about what we uncovered."

That pledge covers a range of possible outcomes: criminal charges, a formal report, or simply the documented findings of an investigation. It leaves room for the DOJ to act in whatever way the evidence supports, but it forecloses the option of quiet burial.

The broader DOJ posture under the current administration has been aggressive on multiple fronts. The department has also subpoenaed witnesses for a grand jury investigation involving former CIA Director John Brennan, part of a wider effort to examine conduct by senior Obama-era intelligence officials.

Separately, the DOJ has pursued a classified leak probe targeting former FBI Director James Comey, another signal that the department is willing to follow evidence into politically sensitive territory.

Blanche's expanding public profile

Blanche has become one of the most visible members of the administration's legal apparatus. Beyond the 2020 election probes, he has weighed in publicly on other matters. Newsmax reported that Blanche posted on X that "It's time to build the ballroom," backing the administration's push for a $400 million White House ballroom after the shooting at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. The Justice Department cited that incident in demanding the National Trust for Historic Preservation drop its lawsuit blocking construction.

That willingness to engage publicly, on election integrity, on security, on legal disputes, distinguishes Blanche from predecessors who preferred to operate behind closed doors. He appears to understand that public trust in the DOJ has eroded and that transparency is the only path to rebuilding it.

The administration has also been vocal on related accountability themes. President Trump has amplified calls tied to declassified intelligence records and the conduct of former officials, reinforcing the broader posture that the previous administration's actions deserve serious legal examination.

What remains unknown

Blanche's comments were forceful but deliberately general. He did not cite specific evidence on the broadcast. He did not name targets. He did not provide a timeline for when charges, a report, or findings might be released.

The gap between "a ton of evidence" and a public accounting remains wide. Investigations that promise much and deliver little damage the credibility of the institution conducting them. Blanche seems aware of this, his repeated assurances about disclosure suggest he knows the DOJ's reputation is on the line.

The open questions are significant. What specific misconduct have investigators found? Who are the subjects? Are grand juries seated? Have any witnesses cooperated? None of that was addressed on air, and none of it has been made public.

But the acting attorney general made one thing clear: the Department of Justice is not treating the 2020 election as settled history. It is treating it as an open case.

For millions of Americans who were told for four years to sit down and stop asking questions, that alone is a long-overdue shift. The proof, though, will be in what the DOJ actually produces, not what it promises on Sunday morning television.
