Formerly Trump’s stubborn defender, Attorney General Bill Barr said in early December 2020 that the Department of Justice had found no evidence of fraud that would affect the outcome of the election. Jeffrey Rosen took over as Deputy Attorney General when Barr resigned in mid-December.

But New York Times Clark denied that Trump and Clark were quietly working together to expel Rosen to replace Rosen with Clark. The Times reported that Clark had planned to put pressure on Georgia authorities on the state’s election results.

“The Justice Department is investigating various misconduct in the 2020 US presidential election,” the letter said. “We will keep you as up-to-date as possible regarding the progress of the investigation, but at this time we have identified significant concerns that may have affected the outcome of the elections in several states, including Georgia. “

“It may be true that we are investigating various frauds in the 2020 presidential election,” (although we usually do not publish), the investigations I know are very small. It is related to suspicion of cheating. According to ABC, it won’t affect the outcome of the presidential election. “

Rosen agreed and wrote, “I wasn’t ready to sign such a letter.”
