Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark nearly convinced then-President Donald Trump to remove then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and use the Department of Justice to undo Georgia's election results, The New York Times reported.
Clark — who appealed to the former President's false claims of election fraud — met with Trump earlier this month and told Rosen following the meeting that the then-President was going to replace him with Clark. Clark would then move to keep Congress from certifying the election results in then-President-elect Joe Biden's favor, according to the paper.
Rosen demanded to hear the news straight from Trump, according to the paper, and arranged a meeting on the evening of January 3 — the same day that Trump's call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which Trump pressured the state official to find enough votes for him to win Georgia, came to light.
During the meeting, Rosen, another top Justice Department official and Clark gathered with Trump, White House counsel Pat Cipollone and other lawyers. Trump had Rosen and Clark state their cases for him, the Times reported. The Times cited two officials who compared Rosen's and Clark's opposing arguments during the meeting to an episode of "The Apprentice," Trump's old reality TV show.
Citing four former Trump administration officials, the paper reported that an agreement among department leadership that they would all resign if Rosen were fired helped sway Trump from removing his acting attorney general. The notion of department pandemonium, congressional investigations and blowback from fellow Republicans seemed to resonate with Trump, who after nearly three hours decided to allow Rosen to stay and determined that Clark's plan would not work, according to the Times.
CNN has reached out to the Justice Department for comment. Clark told the Times that its report contained unspecified inaccuracies and that he could not speak to his conversations with Trump or department lawyers.

didnt we all see that on the ‘pillow guys’ notes????
Be reminded what really happened in my playlist “The US election 2020”
@jay stack Your local Qanon de-promaaing center is calling you.
@T.L. Hughes The point is that he is attempting to make national decisions based on the advice of a man who sells pillows.
@Brooke Baldvag Good, then maybe you can be become employed.
“Trump used his blazing road and his endurance to perform his role in this epic chapter of the battle between good and evil. The fraud of the administrative system, the collapse of the judicial system, the lies of the mainstream media, the exposure of the deep-seated crocodiles, and the fall of the establishment elites. The scenes of this drama have made more Americans aware of the evil of communism and started spiritual Awakening; it also makes more people who believe in God feel pressure and sorrow, so that their belief in God is finally tested.”
That Ag Clark should be investigated and prosecuted for treason too!!!!
@Dean Kruse if your part of a coup its treason.
Biden will pick the best Transgenders for the job
@Brooke Baldvag — If a Transgendered person is the best for the job, why not? The odds are astronomical but if one was qualified, and possessed the personality traits for the job, who cares?
Edit. To clarify, I get it. Transgender people… I just don’t understand. The very concept sends a shiver up my spine. But that is my upbringing, I’ve learned those feelings. LGBT people are as American as you and I, as deserving of the same rights as you and I, as equal in every way as you and I. When Jesus said love thy brother, he meant our fellow man. And like it or not, they are here and ARE our fellow men and women. While foreign to me, and obviously you as well… my upbringing takes a second seat to their rights as a citizen of the USA.

@Brooke Baldvag why does that bother you?
Without accountability and closure, there is no peace, no trust, no truth, no unity, no equality, no honesty, and no justice.
Incredibly well said
Well said
Justice doesn’t look forward, it’s always looking back…

oh good
i agree…. this goes for both dem and rep parties
Convict everyone involved in this plot. They tried to overthrow our government.
Trump is an oath breaker, traitor and a seditionist. The Trump cult is pissed because when it comes right down to it the reason Trump lost is because he is too stupid and too weak to be an effective leader. Trump has no one to blame but himself for his failure.
They did . Biden and Harris . Lmao .
@Brooke Baldvag and your mom will be the first pick!!

@vivian nguyen 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
We all know what happened. The question is, what will our Representatives do about it. Justice matters!
@Jeff Vader says CNN
There has to be justice. He didn’t leave, he said he was going to stay until 2035 I’m was like What?. Okay, problem?
We also know what happened to the election, so get used to it.
@A Rogers Yes, we know that the election was fair. Trump tried to spend fake stories of “voter fraud” so he could perpetrate his own fraud to overthrow the election and seize power. Trump is a good ol’ fashioned commie.
@Mike M LOL
I knew it!!! I said it, once he was out of office people would start singing….
Yuuuuuuupppp you’re right! 👍👏👍👏👍👏
Prison time for all crooks. FULL LOCK DOWN for the virus. Stop throwing $$ at the virus!

He was basically asking the Georgia Secretary of State to make up.a specific number of votes so he could “win” the state.
However, he needed more states than Georgia to win. There were all those states he accused of “dumps”…If Georgia “found” more votes for Trump and he could get votes thrown out from cities in various other states, then he would have “won” in the classic method fascists and dictators have “won” in other countries with corrupt elections.
@Carol Mello actually if you listen to the whole phone call, trump believe there are his uncounted vote deliberately hidden from him somewhere in Georgia and he asked in the phone call to recover them. Trump just a pathetic loser.
@Carol Mello be careful, man… with talks of TRUTH that land near those idiots “questionable” lies… You will be accused of inciting a riot, too.
FFS, when are these people going to be indicted?
Enough already.
You can’t indict them until you get rid of the ones in power protecting them ….thats why they keen to bury Trump cause he’s the only one who’s had a a decent chance of draining the swamp…
@Danielle Watson Trump WAS the swamp.
The letter has been released PUBLICLY, which prove Clark is LYING.

@Cosmik Relic not yet…….proper democracy? us has a republic….which no longer works…who went beserk?
shooting based on color more whites are shot every year by cops….guess why? im sure the cops said we cant shoot him hes white…but hes robbing a bank…..well ok…now i understand you have a media view of the us…
but we are being taken over by communists….that should make you feel better…at least i know that the media puts you in the same boat as us
@steve marshall you cannot accuse Cosmic Relic of being influenced by the media when you yourself get your information from the media unless you are of the belief that the media where he gets his information is inferior and biased as opposed to yours. So which is it?
Then Hillary should go to jail for sacrificing a baby on Epstein’s Island to the devil to win the elections but she lost.
@x x remember 75% is owned by the early investors…there is no there there…pumping money into a slot machine
@Mervyn Stephens nope simple comment we shoot black people for no reason….thats media
Why would you not believe this story after hearing…well, everything Drumpf had said online, but mostly the phone call with Georgia election officials

They don’t believe cause they don’t want to it’s not because the proof and facts are right there in there faces. You just have those people that would rather be divided and keep and just want to keep hate alive and tell lies, it’s more appealing to them than to keep peace
Nothing about that POs surprises me. Thank god he’s gone.
SUGGESTION: Never elect a delusional psychopath, with a “God” complex, to the highest office in the United States…
agreed joe is not delusional……..hes a clerk
Never elect a dillusional old senile man with dimentia who has done nothing for the country for 47 years but screwed it all up first day in office.
@Christina Jenkins Russian Troll BORIS !!!!!! …..Is It Cold in your Miserable Hideout now?
@steve marshall …Yevegenii – YOUR USERNAME IS FUNNY . Do you have an UNDERGROUND CAVE IN SIBERIA WHERE YOU TYPE NONSENSE FROM?
How many Bottles of Vodka have you had today?
but the delunal psychopath with a “god” complex are the voters of his kind
Even after the inauguration he still thinks he’s trying to overturn the election Does he know when to give up Or does he have dementia it’s over.😵
