“The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol plans to unveil new evidence on Thursday about how President Donald Trump tried to manipulate the Justice Department to help him cling to power after he lost the 2020 election,” the New York Times reports.
“At its fifth public hearing this month, scheduled for 3 p.m. on Thursday, the panel plans to hear testimony from three former top Justice Department officials who are expected to lay out the ways in which Mr. Trump tried to misuse the attorney general’s office to overturn his defeat, an extraordinary instance of a president interfering with the nation’s law enforcement apparatus for his own personal ends.”
Washington Post: “Unbeknown to the public at the time, a handful of Justice officials scrambled to prevent Trump from ousting the acting head of the department, Jeffrey Rosen, if Rosen didn’t agree to have the agency publicly suggest the 2020 election results were invalid.”
