Federal prosecutors found that former President Donald Trump attempted to use the power of the Justice Department to conduct sham election fraud investigations. Here’s how Trump put pressure on DOJ.
In a meeting with Rosen and Donoghue, Trump says the Justice Department has not done enough to investigate election fraud. Trump brings up appointing a special counsel to spearhead the effort. He focuses on a report out of Antrim County, Michigan, that said Dominion Voting Systems voting machines in Antrim had a 68% error rate.Trump asks Sidney Powell, an outside lawyer and purveyor of conspiracy theories, to be part of a Justice Department special counsel team to address election issues.
During the call, Rosen tells Trump, "DOJ can't and won't snap its fingers and change the outcome of the election." Trump replies that that was not what he was asking them to do. "Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican Congressmen," Trump says, according to Donoghue’s notes during the call.Perry calls Donoghue alleging more conspiracies. Perry mentions Clark by name and says he trusts Clark to investigate the claims.Clark emails Donoghue and Rosen a draft letter intended for Georgia state officials.
