Former DOJ officials detail threatening to resign en masse in meeting with Trump
Witnesses in today's hearing revealed details of a dramatic Oval Office meeting on Jan. 3, 2021, in which top Justice Department officials banded together to prevent Jeffrey Clark, an environmental lawyer at the DOJ, from replacing acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen.
Trump was keen to install Clark, an ally, in order to wield the powers of the DOJ to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Like I said, the guardrails barely held. Pence was the final guardrail which stopped Trump's coup.
