Trump lashed out after documents were released showing him pressuring Justice Department officials to overturn the election
Former President Donald Trump, in an at times contradictory statement, responded to the release of documents that showed him pressuring officials at the Justice Department to subvert last year's election.
In the statement released on Saturday, Trump denied that the documents showed that he sought to overturn last year's election while repeating the baseless voter fraud claims that have been central to his bid to delegitimize Joe Biden's win.
The documents were released by the House Oversight Committee Friday. They contained hand-written notes of a call between former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and Donald Trump on December 27 taken by Rosen's deputy, Richard Donoghue, who was also present on the call.
"Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me," Trump told the officials in the call, according to the notes. The officials responded that no evidence had been uncovered by the DOJ to substantiate the president's claim.
