News of Rosen’s testimony on Saturday was first reported by The New York Times, who also reported that Rosen spoke to the Justice Department’s Inspector General’s office on Friday and contacted Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz directly and vowed to cooperate with the investigation.

Rosen spoke to the Inspector General’s office about five meetings with Jeffrey Clark, who was acting head of the DOJ’s civilian division under Trump. During a meeting, Clark admitted to meeting Trump and vowed not to do so again, The Times reported.

Rosen also reportedly said Clark had unauthorized conversations with Trump about the public questioning of the election result in several key battlefield states like Georgia.

The Times reported that Rosen also said Clark asked him to send a letter to Georgian lawmakers asking them to overturn the election result, saying the DOJ was investigating allegations of voter fraud.

The Hill has contacted the DOJ for comment. Rosen and Clark did not respond to Time’s request for comment.

The inquiries came after the newspaper reported in january that Trump sought to replace Rosen with Clark in an effort to pressure politicians to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia, a state President Biden narrowly won.

At the end of last month, the House Oversight Committee published notes of a December 27 meeting taken by Richard Donoghue, Rosen’s deputy, in which Trump allegedly said “just say the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me.”
