Trump: Leave the Rest to Me

Evidence mounts that Trump and his congressional allies pressured DOJ and other government officials in a criminal conspiracy to overturn the election.

The Department of Justice released Richard Donoghue’s handwritten notes documenting how Trump pressured then acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen to make false claims of voter fraud. When informed that DOJ had no power to overturn the election results, Trump replied, “Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me” and to congressional allies.
