He has publicly stated that the Justice Department did not find enough fraud to impact the outcome of the election. Rosen has emerged as a key witness in multiple investigations that focus on Trump’s efforts to undermine the results of the election. The inspector general’s spokesperson declined to comment. Rosen did not respond to requests for comment. Trump never fired Rosen, but the plot highlights the former president’s desire to batter the Justice Department into advancing his personal agenda.Ĭlark, who did not respond to requests for comment, said in January that all of his official communications with the White House “were consistent with law,” and that he had engaged in “a candid discussion of options and pros and cons with the president.” That prompted Trump to consider ousting Rosen and installing Clark at the top of the department to carry out that plan. The investigations were opened after a New York Times article that detailed efforts by Jeffrey Clark, acting head of the Justice Department’s civil division, to push top leaders to falsely and publicly assert that ongoing election fraud investigations cast doubt on the Electoral College results. Rosen had a two-hour meeting Friday (6) with the Justice Department’s Office of the inspector general and provided closed-door testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Saturday.
WASHINGTON- Jeffrey Rosen, who was acting attorney general during the Trump administration, has told the Justice Department watchdog and congressional investigators that one of his deputies tried to help former President Donald Trump subvert the results of the 2020 election, according to a person familiar with the interviews.
