The remarks come a day after The New York Times published a bomb report suggesting that Trump was trying to remove his acting attorney general in an attempt to block the outcome of the presidential election in Georgia.
The plan involved replacing then-Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen with Jeffrey Clark, an attorney at the Department of Justice, who was seen as more susceptible to a plan to put pressure on Georgia politicians to get the results of to stop the race there. Rosen has refused to support Trump’s testimony, which claims that voter fraud cost him the election
The conspiracy only fell apart after a group of Justice Department (DOJ) officials uncovered the plan and threatened to resign en masse if Rosen was ousted.
The report was just the latest revelation of Trump’s campaign effort to reverse the results of the presidential election he lost to President Biden. Trump fought his loss, citing unfounded claims of fraud against voters, and wanted to overthrow it by suing dozens of lawsuits, putting pressure on state lawmakers to send his supporters to the Electoral College instead of Biden- voters, and even relying on former vice presidents.
