Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark nearly convinced then-President Donald Trump to remove then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and use the Department of Justice to undo Georgia's election results, The New York Times reported Friday.

Clark -- who appealed to the former President's false claims of election fraud -- met with Trump earlier this month and told Rosen following the meeting that the then-President was going to replace him with Clark. Clark would then move to keep Congress from certifying the election results in then-President-elect Joe Biden's favor, according to the paper.

Clark told the Times that its report contained unspecified inaccuracies and that he could not speak to his conversations with Trump or department lawyers. "Senior Justice Department lawyers, not uncommonly, provide legal advice to the White House as part of our duties," he told the paper."All my official communications were consistent with law."Trump declined to comment to the Times.

For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his own Soul

God Almighty! The lust for Power! I wouldn't put anything past the American Putin! He has dragged Americans to the depths and some still think he cares about them!! Radicalization/Cultism! Make no mistake this man cares only for himself! He has sneered at his voters repeatedly!

Its either the NYT or the Washington Post that puts out these BS stories. Those who haven't been brainwashed by your corruption don't give a rats ass

Maybe the employees of CNN can use a doll and point to where Trump hurt them.

Mama_J00 Has DOJ Attorney Jeffrey Clark been fired YET? encouragedlie

And more to come, I'll bet.

Jeffrey Clark should be fired for election faud, plain and simple. He tried to threaten and bully Geogia into overturning their election results. He tried to get Rosen fired to accomplish this. He has no place in any judicial, federal or otherwise, establishment of law.

AMERICA CALLING FOR ACCOUNTABILITY! DOJ & FBI better do their F-ing jobs! These are DOMESTIC TERRORISTS & it will happen again if they dont get charged! They should of thought about the consequences before going & entering! America is tired of this Shit from FBI & DOJ!

Not a Trump fan (at all). But still have to point out this is trash journalism. How do you know he almost went for it? The article makes the assumption that because it was proposed he was about to do it. But with no evidence. Its 100 percent opinion. Real journalism please!!

where IS justice dept. lawyer jeffrey clark? we know where he was, but where is he now?

It's testimony to the wisdom of the writers of America's constitution that a classless clan of grifters & their accomplices failed to criminally overthrow America's democracy. Here's to the brilliance of our founders. . . fathers and mothers alike! American democracy lives!!!

Love you President Trump. ❤️
