More seditious behavior from Trump

Hopefully, with a couple of weeks extra to dig, facts from this story can be presented in the Senate trial. I certainly think that it could be argued at least as supporting evidence.

Not only is that politicizing the DOJ but it is misuse of taxpayer resources to get DOJ to intervene on behalf of his campaign instead of relying on his own campaign lawyers who attempted to petition SC but failed due to lack of standing and merit.
