Analysis: Jan. 6 committee connects two strands of Trump’s effort to retain power

Thursday’s hearing centered on Trump’s effort to leverage the Justice Department to bolster his unfounded claims of election fraud. In the weeks before Jan. 6, 2021, the president put increasing pressure on the department to take some sort of action to that end. It resisted, for the obvious reason that no rampant fraud had occurred.

The culmination of this effort arrived on Jan. 3, 2021, three days before the riot. In a remarkable meeting at the Oval Office, Trump was presented with the idea of replacing Rosen with Clark. Rosen, Donoghue and Trump’s own attorneys fervently objected, pledging that numerous high-ranking officials from the department would resign. The plan ended.

“The committee has also learned that Mr. Clark was working with another attorney at the department named Ken Klukowski, who drafted this letter to Georgia with Mr. Clark,” Cheney said. Klukowski, she said, had started work at the department Dec. 15, just over a month before Trump’s administration would end. There, Klukowski was assigned to work under Clark.
