The statements come a day after the New York Times published a bombshell report indicating that Trump tried to remove his incumbent Attorney General in an attempt to overturn the results of the presidential election in Georgia.

The plan was to replace Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, who was acting at the time, with Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department attorney who was considered more conducive to a plan to pressure Georgia politicians to overturn the race results there. . Rosen had refused to support Trump’s claims that challenged the evidence that election fraud had cost him the election

The plot only collapsed after a group of Justice Department (DOJ) officials discovered the plan and threatened to resign en masse if Rosen was fired.

The report was just the latest revelation of Trump’s campaign attempt to overthrow the results of the presidential election he lost against President Biden. Trump had spoken out against his loss, citing unmotivated claims of election fraud, and sought to overturn it by filing dozens of lawsuits, pressuring state lawmakers to send their sponsors to the Electoral College in instead of Biden voters, and even leaning on the former vice president Mike PenceMichael (Mike) Richard Pence Trump plans to remove AG to overturn Georgia election results: Trump’s action report illustrates why Congress should pass Cheney’s For People Act to test Trump’s control over the GOP’s post-presidency to block Biden’s victory certification.
