  1. Trump pressed top Justice Department officials in a late December phone call to declare the election he lost “corrupt,” and “leave the rest” to him and Republican allies in Congress, according to contemporaneous, handwritten notes taken by officials on the call. On the Dec. 27 phone call with then-Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and his second-in-command, Richard Donoghue, Trump pressured them to violate the Constitution, and reverse Biden's win. Donoghue memorialized the conversation in handwritten notes, which the House Oversight Committee made public. On the call, Rosen, who took over at the Justice Department after William Barr resigned, and Donoghue push back. They tell Trump "the DOJ can't and won't snap its fingers and change the outcome of the election, doesn't work that way," the notes say. Trump responds: "Don't expect you to do that, just say that the election was corrupt, and leave the rest to me and the Republican Congressmen." Rosen and Donoghue said repeatedly on the call that the allegations of voter fraud were false. According to Donoghue's notes, the men told Trump they had done hundreds of interviews as part of dozens of probes and that his allegations across a number of swing states were not supported by evidence. They told Trump "flat out" he was getting false information or the claims were "just not supported by the evidence."
