“The fact that the Justice Department allowed the handwritten notes concerning the election to be turned over to congressional investigators marked a dramatic shift from actions taken during the Trump administration, which repeatedly invoked executive privilege to skirt congressional scrutiny.
“Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen,” Trump, referring to Republican lawmakers, told Jeffrey Rosen in a Dec. 27 phone call days before Rosen was appointed as acting attorney general.
The notes show Rosen telling Trump that the department could not and would not “change the outcome of the election.”
Trump’s representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.” (from the Washington Post)
