Senate Judiciary Questions Former DOJ Officials About Trump’s Post-Election Efforts

WASHINGTON – The Senate Judiciary Committee questioned former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and former Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue as part of their investigation as to whether former President Donald Trump was attempting to enlist the Ministry of Justice to assist him in his efforts to overthrow the 2020 Election Results.

A spokesperson for the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmed he had a closed-door interview with Donoghue on Friday and a seven-hour interview with Rosen on Saturday.

“Mr. Rosen appeared voluntarily, which speaks volumes, and cooperated with us,” Judicial Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.

Durbin added that the pressure exerted on Rosen by Trump “was real, very real. And it was very specific.”

Trump “is not subtle when he wants something,” he added.

Last month, the Justice Department told several former Trump administration officials they could answer questions from Congress about efforts by then-President Donald Trump or DOJ officials to challenge , stop counting or cancel the results of the presidential election.

The letters were sent to former officials who were invited to testify or answer other questions from House and Senate oversight committees, according to the Department of Justice and Congressional officials.

Durbin added that there would be a report on the talks and that he would try to bring in other people, like Jeffrey Clarke, a DOJ lawyer appointed by Trump.

There will be another meeting this week, Durbin said. “We’re going to keep moving forward on this. I’ve been there since January. And now we’re getting real results.”
