DHis former president of the United States Donald Trump Apparently, senior Justice Department officials were urged to declare the election “corrupt” at the end of last year, even if they showed no evidence of fraud. Trump and his political allies want to use coercive assertions to overturn Congress’s election results and support his opponent Joe Biden. This should be the transcript of the Ministry of Justice, Received by the New York Times and handed over to members of CongressThey are investigating the actions of the Trump team after the election.
Therefore, Trump reported to the then Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen and his deputy Richard P. Donohue on December 27, 2020. In doing so, he put pressure on the two of them to withdraw the allegations of election fraud refuted by the Justice Department. Donohue pointed out that the ministry has no power to change the results of the election. According to reports, Trump replied that he did not expect it: “Just talk about corruption in the election and leave the rest to my allies in Congress and me.”
Normally, the government will not provide Congress with records of discussions between the president and cabinet members.In this case, the Justice Department abandoned the Democratic President’s government Joe Biden According to the New York Times, the secrecy is because it may be a personal misdemeanor of the former president, rather than a government act worth protecting. The ministry also allowed Rosen and Donohue to answer questions from the House Control and Judiciary Committee without special restrictions. Carolyn Maloney, Democratic Congressman and Committee Chairperson of New York, said: “These handwritten notes show that President Trump directly instructed our country’s chief law enforcement agency to take measures during the last few days of his presidency.

The committee is investigating Republican Trump’s alleged efforts to sabotage and even overturn the election through political conspiracy against the wishes of voters. After the November 3 election, Trump spoke of “mass election fraud” and put pressure on local election officials, such as in Georgia. However, dozens of courts rejected claims for alleged fraud. The Ministry of Justice also stated that there is no evidence of major election fraud. In turn, Trump continues to claim that he won the election.
Congressional investigators can access Trump’s tax records
The content of the conversation may also harm members of Congress who support Trump. Although Trump did not name them his “allies,” he mentioned elsewhere Jim Jordan from Ohio, who he called a “warrior,” and Scott Perry from Pennsylvania, who he supported at the time. The election was from Trump and Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson. Trump praised him for “knowing the truth.” House Democratic President Nancy Pelosi welcomes the release of these documents as “national security issues.” The people have the right to know the facts about Trump’s “disturbing conflicts of interest” and “how he as president undermined our security and democracy.”
The Justice Department’s current public request will be another case of former President Trump’s excessive intervention in authorities outside his control. The Department of Justice actually operates independently of the White House. However, this report card is just the latest example of Trump’s widespread publicity to legitimize election results in the final weeks of his term. Although he himself basically withdrew from the public eye after losing to Joe Biden in November last year, He asked his lawyer Rudy Giuliani to publicly announce the existence of election fraud multiple times.
It was also reported on Friday that U.S. Congressional investigators can now trump card Should be received. The Justice Department on Friday instructed the IRS to transfer relevant documents to a committee of the House of Representatives. This provides a sufficient reason for the inspection. The department led by New Democratic Party President Joe Biden overturned Trump’s decision in 2019. According to the decision, the motion had an “insincere” purpose, that is, a public document. It is now said that this was a mistake at the time. In the United States, senior politicians, especially the president, traditionally file tax returns to the public. Trump broke this practice and refused to hand over the documents to investigators.
