Senate report describes Trump, allies' efforts to use DOJ to subvert 2020 election

A Senate committee report has revealed new details about former President Donald Trump's efforts to enlist the Justice Department in subverting the 2020 election.

A Senate committee report released Thursday detailed new instances where former President Donald Trump and his allies sought to use the Justice Department to over turn the 2020 election.

With new testimony from officials who served in the highest echelons of DOJ at the time, the report by Senate Judiciary Democrats offers the most comprehensive look to date at both new and previously reported details of Trump's maneuvering in advance of the Jan. 6 insurrection to manufacture doubts about his loss to Joe Biden.

In previously unreleased details from a Jan. 3 meeting in the Oval Office, Trump's dogged efforts to try to replace then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen with a loyalist who vowed he would assist Trump in using the department to investigate the 2020 election was met with a stunning show of resistance.

"Trump opened the meeting by saying, 'One thing we know is you, Rosen, aren’t going to do anything to overturn the election,'" Rosen testified.
