Trump Told DOJ 'Just Say Election Was Corrupt And Leave The Rest To Me'
DOJ senior official Richard Donoghue testified in great detail about the many ways Trump tried to overthrow the 2020 election results, using the DOJ.
By John Amato — June 23, 2022


Richard Donoghue, a senior DOJ official under the Trump administration gave very explicit and minute testimony to the January 6 Select Committee of all the efforts Trump tried to overthrow the 2020 election, including trying to make them accomplices in his criminality.

Kinzinger asked again, "So let's now put up the notes where you quote the president. As you're speaking to that, he said the president said 'Just say the election was corrupt, and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen' so, Mr. Donoghue, that's a direct quote from President Trump, correct?"

Donoghue replied, "That's an exact quote from the President, yes."

Forget about evidence, truth, or honesty. Trump wanted the DOJ to tell the American people that the entire 2020 election was corrupt. Even after the DOJ investigated many of the false claims he was being fed with and found there was no voter fraud that made him lose the election.

Please get the handcuffs out as soon as possible.

2. Just like he wanted Ukraine to announce an investigation of Hunter Biden.

An announcement that he wanted much more than an actual investigation.

3. We've all known he said that for a loooong while

…so glad it’s finally being investigated.
I wish it was sooner.
