By Aruna Viswanatha Close Aruna Viswanatha , Sadie Gurman Close Sadie Gurman and Cameron McWhirter Close Cameron McWhirter Updated Jan. 9, 2021 4:29 pm ET White House officials pushed Atlanta’s top federal prosecutor to resign before Georgia’s U.S. Senate runoffs because President Trump was upset he wasn’t doing enough to investigate the president’s allegations of election fraud, people familiar with the matter said.
The pressure on Mr. Pak was part of Mr. Trump’s weekslong push to try to alter presidential election results favoring President-elect Joe Biden, which included his win in Georgia. Mr. Trump this week, following the U.S. Capitol riot, said he would leave office on Jan. 20 when Mr. Biden is inaugurated.
The White House and the Justice Department didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Mr. Pak didn’t respond to requests for comment. It isn’t known whether the Justice Department official’s call to Mr. Pak took place before or after the Raffensberger recording was made public.
STOP JUST STOP TRUMP GOP TERRORISTS HOME GROWN.
Worst yet to come. Communism will rule the world soon!
ajc
Bullshit. Watch the truth unfold. Biden won’t be a president.
SethAbramson Like this is news to anybody?
SpeakerPelosi needs to make sure there is a conversation with Mr Pak to confirm which official pressured him.
Shameful.
Good works deserves good recommendation and that's why I'll always do here at my end. You're super good at what you do Nicole. Intelligent and smart. Within a space of time I've earned alot, Thank you so very much.Nicole_Crypto1 All my colleagues are now ready to join.
Thank you for sharing.
If so, and I don’t doubt it’s true, open your mouth after being forced to resign for unlawful reasons and make it public. Let people know. And especially don’t wait 6 months so you can put it in a book.
ditzkoff The mark is a thermometer
I say he’s a definite re-hire!
All the evil will emerge now.
Thank you for reporting. I thought he resigned over the call to Raffensperger. They should add this as an extra article of Impeachment.
Why Barr left on 12/23
Translation: prosecutor resigned for not prosecuting overwhelming fraud to avoid being doxxed by the mob of globalists
Wow!!!! nothing gets by you folks huh... I mean you folks are rocket scientist, fucking geniuses I tell ya
Gee, what a surprise. I mean Trump was under indictment for fraud and racketeering during the 2016 election and was known for his unscrupulous business practices his entire life. How on earth could we have seen this coming?
That’s weird. On the flip side you have a judge-Obama appointee, sister of Stacey Abrams, supporting changes to voting rules & refusing to hear cases on election fraud

He needs a job in the new administration
Arrests will mean nothing if hundreds of people are ultimately prosecuted for vandalism while the ones who fomented the putsch avoid consequences.
SethAbramson Did Rupert approve this article?
SethAbramson Why do these people resign? If they are being pushed to commit a crime, they should refuse and force the Corrupt Conman to publicly FIRE HIM... Stop letting him get away with this kind of crap. How many other AGs has he thus bullied?!?!?!?!?!?!?
SethAbramson Yep, was expecting this...
SethAbramson Sadly this is just less than a week old... and it, along with the impeachable call lost because of Wednesday.
Everything Trump touches dies.
George W Bush and Karl Rove did this exact thing on a much larger scale, by the way
meanwhile the Obama administration knowingly supported ISIS..... if you think this doesnt happen everyday on both sides....
Jessie Liu also suffered a similar fate for not doing Donald Trump's bidding.
Of course it was. Very transparent at the time. Thank you for confirming.
Pray for the sick and COVID affected people in hospitals fighting for their life. During this time many serious surgeries will be going on....May Allah protect and give health to all the sick and serious patients out there.🤲🤲 Blackout Pakistan electricity
I pledge to stop supporting or patronizing any and every company or organization that continues to support Trump or the GOP at any level until they completely denounce and renounce Trump. Can we count on you to do this too?
To the surprise of not one single person who lives in reality.
say it with me, Fascism!
