The House Oversight Committee released handwritten notes on Friday authored by former Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, who recorded two late-December meetings in which former president Trump tried to use the DOJ to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The notes provide a new window into the ways in which Trump sought to use the power of federal law enforcement to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election, pushing federal prosecutors to investigate a range of bizarre conspiracy theories in service of casting a pall over the results. Specifically, the notes suggest that the former president wanted Justice Department officials to declare that the election had been “corrupt” as part of a bid to help him and his allies in Congress overturn the results.

“These handwritten notes show that President Trump directly instructed our nation’s top law enforcement agency to take steps to overturn a free and fair election in the final days of his presidency,” House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) said in a statement.

Donoghue made records of two encounters — one on Dec. 27, and the other on Dec. 29, 2020.
