Top federal prosecutor in LA says 'multiple election fraud investigations underway'

The Department of Justice has long said California has issues with voter rolls.

The top federal prosecutor in Los Angeles said Friday said there are "multiple election fraud investigations underway" but did not give any information or specifics.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said in an X post that his office is working with Harmeet Dhillon, the Department of Justice's assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, "to conduct a comprehensive audit of California’s voter rolls."

"We will follow the evidence wherever it leads and prosecute any violations of federal election law to the fullest extent," he said adding that the state allegedly "stonewalled every effort to verify that only eligible U.S. citizens are registered to vote."

The Department of Justice has long said that California has issues with its voter rolls, and that investigations are underway. It isn't clear if there is any evidence to support this, and the DOJ has not provided evidence of fraud.
