Director of the elections crimes branch in the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section Richard Pilger has resigned following a letter from Attorney General William Barr, in which he authorized federal prosecutors to investigate "substantive allegations of voting irregularities" in the presidential election, CNN reported.
In a statement to his colleagues, Pilger said the Attorney General was issuing "an important new policy abrogating the forty-year-old Non-Interference Policy for ballot fraud investigations in the period prior to elections becoming certified and uncontested."
