.. “In fact, it is just the opposite,” Mr. Trump said in a statement. “The documents were meant to uphold the integrity and honesty of elections and the sanctity of our vote.”
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee on Friday released handwritten notes by Justice Department officials from late last year. Notes of a phone call last Dec. 27 indicate that Mr. Trump was pressuring then-Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen to take action on the presidential election.
Mr. Rosen told Mr. Trump that the Justice Department “can’t + won’t snap its fingers + change the outcome of the election, doesn’t work that way,” according to notes taken by Richard Donoghue, who was Mr. Rosen’s deputy and was also on the call.
Mr. Trump replied, “Don’t expect you to do that, just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen,” according to Mr. Donoghue’s notes.
Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, New York Democrat, said the handwritten notes “show that President Trump directly instructed our nation’s top law enforcement agency to take steps to overturn a free and fair election in the final days of his presidency.”
Mr. Trump rejected her characterization.
“The corrupt and highly partisan House Democrats who run the House Oversight Committee yesterday released documents—including court filings dealing with the rigged election of 2020—that they dishonestly described as attempting to overturn the election,” he said. “The American people want, and demand, that the president of the United States, its chief law enforcement officer in the country, stand with them to fight for election integrity and to investigate attempts to undermine our nation.” ..
.. He said the nation “has just suffered an incredibly corrupt presidential election, and it is time for Congress and others to investigate how such corruption was allowed to take place rather than investigating those that are exposing this massive fraud on the American people.” ..
