Axios: “Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Saturday called for the Justice Department inspector general to investigate an alleged plan by former President Trump and a DOJ lawyer to remove the acting attorney general and replace him with someone more willing to investigate unfounded claims of election fraud. The New York Times first reported Friday that the lawyer, Jeffrey Clark, allegedly devised ‘ways to cast doubt on the election results and to bolster Mr. Trump’s continuing legal battles and the pressure on Georgia politicians. Because Mr. [Jeffrey] Rosen had refused the president’s entreaties to carry out those plans, Mr. Trump was about to decide whether to fire Mr. Rosen and replace him with Mr. Clark.'”
“‘Unconscionable a Trump Justice Department leader would conspire to subvert the people’s will,’ Schumer tweeted Saturday. ‘The Justice Dept Inspector General must launch an investigation into this attempted sedition now,’ he added. ‘And the Senate will move forward with Trump’s impeachment trial,’ slated for the week of Feb. 8.”
