Justice Dept. tells former Trump admin. officials that they can answer questions from Congress about efforts by President Trump or department officials to challenge, stop the counting or overturn the results of the presidential election.

The DOJ is informing the former officials that while the department typically resists such congressional inquiries and even asserts executive privilege, this one is different, according to one of the letters sent to Jeffrey Rosen, who was acting attorney general after“The extraordinary events in this matter constitute exceptional circumstances warranting an accommodation to Congress in this case,” the letter to Rosen said.

Many of these former officials were earlier given approval to testify about the Justice Department’s planning for and response to the Capitol riot. “That authorization remains in effect,” the letter said.Pete Williams is an NBC News correspondent who covers the Justice Department and the Supreme Court, based in Washington.

Role of Trump era corruption pondered in delay of arrest of Trump friend BarrackRachel Maddow considers the possibility that a delay in the indictment of Donald Trump friend and inauguration committee chair Tom Barrack, as reported by CNN, could be part of an apparent pattern of corrupt deference to Trump associates by the Department of Justice in the Trump era, or perhaps a stall to wait out Trump's pardon power. maddow 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 maddow maddow I love how you keep grasping for ratings.

'Hell he's created': Trump blasted for lies amid Covid-19 surge'This division, I don't know anything to compare it with because after 9/11, we were united,' Chris Matthews says. 'We saw a common enemy and we faced it down as a country, and I think we're still capable of doing that if we had leaders.' He's right about 'if we had leaders' - we don't have the leaders we need at this point in time ... we need ass kickers not the kumbaya brigade :( Were you? Because while certainly a lot of people thought they were united, behind the scenes you had the PNAC caucus for whom it was nothing more than political opportunity. Ramming through USAPATRIOT while everyone was still reeling, shows the enemy had already snuck in. Ya we have a leader asleep at the wheel and the media chooses to talk about the old guy instead of holding this administration accountable! It’s pathetic!
