Barr\u2019s replacement and other senior DOJ leaders appointed by Trump also refused to violate their oaths of office and the United States Constitution by aiding and abetting Trump\u2019s plot. When those senior DOJ officials refused to lie about the election, then-President Trump threatened to name as Acting Attorney General an unqualified environmental lawyer \u2013 Jeffrey Clark - willing to follow his orders to lie about the election and participate in his criminal conspiracy.\r\n\r\nTestimony today revealed that only threat of mass resignation by senior DOJ officials, if Clark was named Acting A.G., prevented the former President from appointing the unqualified lawyer to the post.\r\n\r\nWe also learned today that earlier this week federal investigators staged a pre-dawn raid to search the home of Jeffrey Clark as part of their investigation into coordinated efforts by the Trump White House to overturn the 2020 election.\r\n\r\n<span class=\"TextRun SCXW133303134 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun CommentStart CommentHighlightPipeRest CommentHighlightRest SCXW133303134 BCX0\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"Plain Text\">Aujourd&#039;hui, les rapports ont \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 v\u00e9rifi\u00e9s <\/span><\/span> that a number of Republican members of Congress sought preemptive pardons from the Trump before he left office \u2013 to shield them from potential prosecution for their roles in attempting to subvert the election.\r\n\r\nThe American people deserve the truth about the January 6<sup>\u00e8me<\/sup> Insurrection.
