NEW: Between December 2020 and early January, Trump and his allies repeatedly pressed senior DOJ officials to investigate baseless conspiracy theories and challenge election results, according to documents released by the House Oversight Committee. axios.com/trump-doj-elec…
On Dec. 29, Trump sent three senior DOJ officials a 54-page legal brief demanding that the Supreme Court “declare that the Electoral College votes cast” in six states Trump lost “cannot be counted,” and that a “special election” must be held in each one. axios.com/trump-doj-elec…
On at least five occasions, chief of staff Mark Meadows directed DOJ officials to investigate baseless fraud claims, including a conspiracy alleging that electoral data was changed in Italian facilities with the knowledge of the CIA. axios.com/trump-doj-elec…
Then-Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen forwarded one of Meadows' emails linking to a YouTube video about the Italy conspiracy to senior official Richard Donoghue, who responded: "Pure insanity." axios.com/trump-doj-elec…
