Former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen detailed to the Jan. 6 committee the pressure campaign then-President Donald Trump conducted toward DOJ officials to overturn the results of the 2020 election in his favor.
Former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen detailed Thursday during testimony before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot the pressure campaign then-President Donald Trump conducted toward officials at the Department of Justice to overturn the results of the 2020 election in his favor.
Rosen and the other former Justice Department officials said Trump complained to them that the department was missing in action regarding his claims. They said they told him they did not have the evidentiary standing or the legal grounds to do so. “The Justice Department declined all of those requests that I was just referencing because we did not think they were appropriate based on the facts of the law, as we understood them,” Rosen said.
