2020 ELECTION/DOJ/GEORGIA: “Top members of the Department of Justice last year rebuffed another DOJ official who asked them to urge officials in Georgia to investigate and perhaps overturn President Joe Biden’s victory in the state — long a bitter point of contention for former President Donald Trump and his team — before the results were certified by Congress, emails reviewed by ABC News show.
The emails, dated Dec. 28, 2020, show the former acting head of DOJ’s civil division, Jeffrey Clark, circulating a draft letter — which he wanted then-acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen and acting deputy attorney general Richard Donoghue to sign off on — urging Georgia’s governor and other top officials to convene the state legislature into a special session so lawmakers could investigate claims of voter fraud…
Donoghue responded a little more than an hour later shooting down Clark’s request to sign on to the draft letter. ‘There is no chance that I would sign this letter or anything remotely like this,’ Donoghue said…
Later that evening, Rosen responded as well, telling both Clark and Donoghue, ‘I confirmed again today that I am not prepared to sign such a letter.'”
