The First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California announced Friday that his office has multiple election fraud investigations currently underway.

Bill Essayli, who serves as the top federal prosecutor in Los Angeles, confirmed the ongoing probes but declined to provide specific details about the investigations during his Friday announcement.

The announcement comes amid heightened political focus on election integrity issues. Former President Trump has made allegations of electoral irregularities, including claims about Democratic conduct in recent primary elections in California.

Essayli's office did not specify the scope, timeline, or targets of the investigations. Federal prosecutors typically maintain confidentiality around ongoing criminal investigations until charges are filed or cases are resolved.

The Central District of California covers Los Angeles and surrounding areas, representing one of the largest federal judicial districts in the country by population.
