Emails from the White House officials and the United States Department of Justice suggest that former President Donald Trump‘s aides tried to persuade Jeffery Rosen, the former acting Attorney General to consider the administration’s false claims of 2020 Presidential elections being rigged.

The emails are dated in the same time frame when Rosen was being put in charge of the former administration’s Justice Department towards the end of 2020, CNN reported.

The emails, which were released by members of the Democratic party seated in the House Oversight Committee, outline Trump’s involvement in influencing Rosen to pitch into the legal action required for challenging the result of the elections.

Trump’s White House assistant and Chief of Staff were one of the multiple people who are allegedly involved in the scenario.

Former Attorney General William Barr, who confessed that there was not sufficient evidence of any widespread voter fraud in the United States, was being replaced by the Rosen.

An email with a timestamp of 4:57 pm on December 14, 2020 suggests that Trump’s White House assistant mailed a document to Justice Department officials Richard Donoghue and Rosen. The email included that claimed voter fraud in Michigan’s Antrim County. The email was forwarded to US Attorneys of Michigan, the CNN report said.

A short while after the documents were sent, Trump wrote on Twitter that Barr would be vacating his office in the Justice Department.

However, such acts of the former President claiming widespread voter fraud across the coutry did not gather much momentum and failed to get any substantial legal validation.
