Senate report details Trump's pressure campaign at DOJ to overturn the 2020 election.
NBC News (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 76% • 3 min read
Former President Trump held at least nine calls or in-person meetings with senior DOJ officials in which he directly and repeatedly asked them "to initiate investigations, file lawsuits on his behalf, and publicly declare the 2020 election 'corrupt.'' The report's findings are based on testimony from three former DOJ officials as well as documents and emails.
...
The report outlines that Trump wanted to replace acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen with Jeffrey Clark, then the acting head of the department's civil division, who devised a strategy with the president for the DOJ to intervene in Georgia's appointment of presidential electors and to use this model in other states. Rosen and then-acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, however, rejected Clark's proposal.
...
The committee said Donoghue and Rosen recounted that White House counsel Pat Cipollone called Trump's plan a "murder-suicide pact." Cipollone and another White House lawyer, Patrick Philbin, indicated "that they would also resign."
