Trump told DOJ officials in December 2020 to call election 'corrupt,' notes show
The instructions were given during a Dec. 27 phone conversation with then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and his deputy, Richard Donoghue.
Handwritten notes taken by Donoghue and released by the House Oversight Committee on Friday show that Trump told the DOJ officials to "just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen."
Rosen reportedly then told Trump that the Justice Department "can’t + won’t snap its fingers + change the outcome of the election."
During the call, the officials repeatedly informed Trump that there was no evidence to support the election was fraudulent and told him the information he was receiving was "false."
"Sir we have done dozens of investigations, hundreds of interviews, major allegations are not supported by evidence," Rosen and Donoghue said according to the notes. "We are doing our job."
"Much of the info you’re getting is false," they added.
Trump reportedly told the officials, "People are angry" and "blaming DOJ" for "inaction."
"You guys may not be following the internet the way I do," he added.
"Doesn't work that way," he added.

In true authoritarian fashion, Trump tried to subvert the loss of his personal power by attempting to bend the mechanisms of the law to his will. Thankfully, there are still people in the DOJ who hold constitution and country over party and President.
