Trump intervenes in Pennsylvania GOP gubernatorial primary

Associated Press  

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Former President Donald Trump waded into Pennsylvania’s GOP gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, slamming a former acolyte over his alleged failure to investigate Trump’s false claims of widespread election fraud. McSwain, in a statement released by his campaign, did not address Trump directly but said, “I’m proud of my record as U.S. Attorney.” “I’ve prosecuted and put people behind bars who committed voter fraud, and put rioters and looters in jail. Barr told him to pass along any “serious allegations” of election fraud to Shapiro’s office, McSwain said in a letter seeking Trump’s imprimatur. So McSwain “tried to thread the needle” by saying “things that were technically true” without giving “support to Trump’s stolen election narrative,” Barr said.
