MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The state Department of Justice has again concluded that secretly recorded videos of a Democratic activist reveal no evidence of election fraud.

The conservative activist James O’Keefe released footage in October 2016 showing a Wisconsin-based liberal operative appearing to say he arranged for people to incite violence at Donald Trump rallies.

The DOJ concluded in January 2017 that the videos didn’t provide evidence of wrongdoing.

O’Keefe accused Attorney General Brad Schimel of not seriously investigating the allegations. Days later Schimel said the investigation was still ongoing.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Monday it had obtained investigatory reports that show the probe ended on May 2 with no crimes being substantiated.

DOJ spokesman Johnny Koremenos didn’t immediately reply to an email from The Associated Press seeking comment.
