The Jan. 6 committee will hear from former Justice Department officials who faced down a relentless pressure campaign from Donald Trump over the 2020 presidential election results while suppressing a bizarre challenge from within their own ranks.
The U.S. Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, has been described as the worst attack on American democracy since the Civil War.
"You could have a situation here, within 24 hours, you have hundreds of people resigning from the Justice Department," Donoghue has said he told Trump."Is that good for anyone? Is it good for the department? Is it good for the country? Is it good for you. It's not."Ample evidence has emerged over the last year of what happened at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The committee last week presented videotaped depositions of former Attorney General William Barr, who castigated Trump's fraud claims as"bull-,""bogus" and"idiotic" and resigned after failing to convince the president of that. Around that time, Trump was introduced by a Republican congressman, Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, to Clark, who'd joined the department in 2018 as its chief environmental lawyer and was later appointed to run its civil division. Clark was earlier subpoenaed by the committee to give a deposition but will not be among the witnesses Thursday.
According to testimony given by Rosen, Trump opened the meeting by saying,"One thing we know is you, Rosen, aren't going to do anything to overturn the election."

The revelation of the never-before-seen footage came to light Tuesday amidst the committee’s public hearings when British filmmaker Alex Holder revealed he had complied with a congressional subpoena to turn over all of the footage he shot in the final weeks of Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign. The filmmaker said the footage includes exclusive interviews with Trump, his children and then-Vice President Mike Pence while on the campaign trail as well as before and after the insurrection on the Capitol.
