On the very day that Attorney General William Barr left office in late December, then-President Donald Trump and top White House aides began a "relentless" pressure campaign aimed at interim Justice Department leaders, including acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, to overturn the results of the 2020 election, according to a new Senate committee report.
Trump's effort included 9 calls and meetings with Rosen and
acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, contacts that
included "near-daily outreach" to the department,
a Senate Judiciary Committee investigation found.
The White House push continued right up to the deadly Jan. 6 assault
on the U.S. Capitol, when a mob of Trump supporters sought to block
Congress' certification of President Joe Biden's election.

Among the Senate committee's findings are the efforts by then-Acting Assistant
Attorney General Jeffrey Clark (ed. trump lover), who repeatedly sought to
"induce Rosen into helping Trump’s election subversion scheme"
by telling Rosen that he would decline Trump's offer that he take Rosen's place
if Rosen agreed to join the election fraud scheme. 
** Yet another scurrilous trump Quid Pro Quo
The report also provided confirmation that Mark Meadows,
then serving as Trump's chief of staff (ed. lap dog),
pressured Rosen on "multiple occasions" to launch
election fraud investigations,
"violating longstanding restrictions on WH intervention
in DOJ law enforcement matters."
According to the Senate report, Meadows attempted to push Rosen
to meet with Trump’s outside lawyer, Rudy Giuliani,
who was waging a parallel legal campaign in the courts,
where he pressed debunked allegations of voter fraud in multiple states.

DOJ, White House officials threatened to resign
The Senate report includes a dramatic recounting of a contentious Jan. 3
Oval Office meeting in which Donoghue warned that a mass resignation
of Justice officials and federal prosecutors would follow if Trump moved
to replace Rosen with Clark to aid the president's election subversion scheme.
continued....USA TODAY reporting:
The Senate report builds on findings by a House committee,
which disclosed emails and other communications in July
detailing similar efforts by Trump to co-opt Justice officials.
According notes of a Dec. 27 telephone call with Rosen,
Trump urged the acting attorney general to make a public statement,
FALSELY asserting that "the election was corrupt."
"Just say that the election was corrupt and
leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen,"
Trump said during the phone call, according to Donoghue.
Trump persisted, even though Barr had publicly stated
prior to his Dec. 23 departure, that the Justice Department
had investigated and found no evidence of widespread
fraud that would've changed the results.
“Today’s Senate report shows the American people
just how close we came to a constitutional crisis,"
Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said.
"Thanks to a number of upstanding Americans in the
Department of Justice, Donald Trump was unable to bend
the Department to his will.
But it was not due to a lack of effort.
Donald Trump would have shredded the Constitution to stay in power."

YAHOO NEWS -
The Senate Judiciary Committee report, titled
“Subverting Justice: How the Former President
and His Allies Pressured DOJ to Overturn the 2020 Election,”
was released Thursday.
It includes the most detailed information yet about
a meeting on Jan. 3 in which Trump fought with top officials
in hopes of installing a loyalist as his acting attorney general.
The plan was part of his final attempt to retain power
after his loss to Joe Biden by more than 6 million votes
and came amid his ongoing, and false, claims that
widespread voter fraud had cost him the race.
The New York Times first published details of the document late Wednesday.
Trump's effort included 9 calls and meetings with Rosen and
acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, contacts that
included "near-daily outreach" to the department,
a Senate Judiciary Committee investigation found.
The White House push continued right up to the deadly Jan. 6 assault
on the U.S. Capitol, when a mob of Trump supporters sought to block
Congress' certification of President Joe Biden's election.

bill barr told chump the truth right from the start but the fascist egomaniac didnt want to hear it
and he keeps telling the BIG LIE to this day
Trump follows authoritarian playbook as other dictators of banana republics. These include discrediting election results, interfering with judicial independence, attacking independent media and oppositions. Another coup remains a threat. Dangerous for GOP to have blind loyalty to his lies.
