Donald Trump, former president of United States whobelieved that the elections were stolen and didn't concede defeat had plannedto replace the Attorney General with an official who could pursue his so calledclaims.
As per a report published in the Reuters news agency,Trump pushed Justice Department of US to ask Supreme Court for invalidating JoeBiden's victory on the pretext of stolen elections.
It was reported by the Wall Street Journal on Saturday. Accordingto WSJ, the appointees of the Justice Department resisted to file the case inthe Supreme Court because they considered it baseless and lawless.
Several people who knew Trump's motives told WSJ thatofficials threatened to resign if Trump had fired the then Attorney General, JeffreyRosen.
Trump's idea was also resisted by then-White Housecounsel Pat Cipollone and his deputy, Patrick Philbin.
It was also reported by Reuters that Trump planned toreplace Rosen with Jeffery Clark was was an ally of Trump. This plan was firstreported by The New York Times.
Similarly, Trump adviser when asked to respond to thesemedia reports said, the former president “has consistently argued that ourjustice system should be investigating the broader, rampant election fraud thathas plagued our system for years. Any assertion to the contrary is false andbeing driven by those who wish to keep the system broken.”
Democrats have reacted to this news with so much furybecause Trump's baseless claims resulted in the Jan 6 unrest of US Capitol.
