The New York Times is reporting former President Trump plotted with Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark to oust then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen in order to install Clark instead, a loyalist who would help coerce Georgia officials into overturning the state’s election results. Rosen reportedly had to argue against his own removal with Clark, before Trump, in a scenario akin to “The Apprentice.” Trump ultimately dropped the plan after Justice Department officials unanimously vowed to quit if Rosen was fired.

Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reports Trump pushed the Justice Department to directly ask the Supreme Court to invalidate Biden’s victory.
