"Former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, who took over the department after the resignation of Attorney General Bill Barr on December 14, 2020, testified that Trump contacted him "virtually every day" to request that the DOJ do more to "investigate election fraud," including by appointing a special counsel and pursuing Supreme Court litigation.
Trump also wanted the department to promote his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud by sending letters to six state legislatures urging them to overturn the election results.
According to the testimony of former Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, Trump requested that the DOJ seize voting machines from state governments and implored the department "to say [the election] was corrupt."
Both Rosen and Donoghue further testified that Jeffrey Clark, the head of the department's energy and natural resources division who began having direct contact with the president, asked them to sign one of the letters he and another DOJ attorney, Ken Klukowski, had drafted, recommending that the Georgia legislature overturn the state's certified election results.
The letter, which former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone reportedly dismissed as a "murder-suicide pact," is the subject of a disciplinary case before the D.C. bar. (Clark is also the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation.)
Trump's campaign to involve the DOJ in his effort to overturn the election culminated in a brazen effort to replace Rosen with Clark as acting attorney general, which appears to have been foiled only when Rosen, Donoghue, and other DOJ officials met with the president at the White House and threatened to resign."

You only 'know' what the Cult tells you.
That's part of a trend of Southwestern states having to repay the federal government for SNAP benefits.
I love how DonorBot glosses over the amount of money owed, that doesn't mean anything.
Lumpers run around claiming California would be the Nth largest economy in the world, yet continues to short change the Federal government via fraud, mistakes, and just not paying its fairshare.
Lumpers will then claim California pays the fed more than it gets back, well it should just like income tax is progressive so should California contribute more than Mississippi.
Yet California continually comes up short. It has $20 billion in pandemic federal unemployment insurance debt. California is the only state that has not repaid this loan, so now federal payroll taxes on businesses are increasing annually until the balance is cleared.
IOW Californians are taxed even more because it doesn't repay its debt.
Think of what $1B dollars could do? Why thats USAID money right there.
Trump is wasting billions a day on a war with Iran and Turds is worried about poor people receiving assistance to buy food.
idk, he's certainly using assets that have already been paid for. My take is the military is learning how to fight with/against drone technology. This is probably a good thing.
The worry isn't about poor people receiving assistance you PortaPotty, but people that don't need assistance are getting paid.
People are literally stealing from the poor people, and you can't see it. You suffer from a fascinating blindness.
