Notes Show Trump Pressured Justice Department
The DOJ turned over some notes about TFG pressuring the DOJ to overturn the election https://politicalwire.com/2021/07/30/notes-suggest-trump-pressured-justice-department/
The House Oversight Committee released handwritten notes by former Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue of a call with former Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and Donald Trump on Dec. 27, 2020 in which he sought their help in trying to overturn the results of the presidential election.
Trump asked them to “just say that the election was corrupt” and “leave the rest to me and the Republican Congressmen.”
Best line: “You guys may not be following the internet the way I do.”
New York Times: “The demands were an extraordinary instance of a president interfering with an agency that is typically more independent from the White House to advance his personal agenda. They are also the latest example of Mr. Trump’s wide-ranging campaign during his final weeks in office to delegitimize the election results.”
