WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Cracks emerged between two of President Donald Trump's key legal allies on Tuesday as Attorney General William Barr said his department had found no evidence of the widespread voter fraud Trump alleges, while Rudolph Giuliani vowed to continue his search.

Barr made his comments in an interview with the Associated Press shortly before revealing he had elevated federal prosecutor John Durham to the status of special counsel and assigned him to keep probing the origins of the U.S. government's own probe into the role that Russia played in Trump's 2016 election win.
