Former President Donald Trump, in an at times contradictory statement, responded to the release of documents that showed him pressuring officials at the Justice Department to subvert last year's election.
In the statement released on Saturday, Trump denied that the documents showed that he sought to overturn last year's election while repeating the baseless voter fraud claims that have been central to his bid to delegitimize Joe Biden's win.
The documents were released by the House Oversight Committee Friday. They contained hand-written notes of a call between former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and Donald Trump on December 27 taken by Rosen's deputy, Richard Donoghue, who was also present on the call.
"Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me," Trump told the officials in the call, according to the notes. The officials responded that no evidence had been uncovered by the DoJ to substantiate the president's claim.
In his statement, Trump said the documents do not show he attempted to overturn the election yet repeated his election fraud claims and offered no new evidence to show they are credible.
"The corrupt and highly partisan House Democrats who run the House Oversight Committee yesterday released documents—including court filings dealing with the rigged election of 2020—that they dishonestly described as attempting to overturn the election," Trump said.
"In fact, it is just the opposite. The documents were meant to uphold the integrity and honesty of elections and the sanctity of our vote," he added. "The American People want, and demand, that the President of the United States, its chief law enforcement officer in the country, stand with them to fight for Election Integrity and to investigate attempts to undermine our nation."
Trump has pushed his election fraud "Big Lie" since losing the contest last year. Amid rumors that he is gearing up for another bid for political office, the claim has become the center of his propaganda campaign.
Last week a special House committee began probing the January 6 Capitol riot, in which Trump supporters motivated by Trump's election fraud conspiracy theories attacked the Capitol in a bid to halt Biden's certification as president.
One of the focuses on the inquiry will be the extent to which Trump's claims instigated the violence and his actions leading up to the violence, and new evidence has emerged in recent days of the pressure Trump placed Rosen under to back his election fraud claims.

just how close we came...
please remember to help keep fascism and white supremacy off the NT front page by commenting and voting up seeds like this one - thank you
This was just released - you left something out dev:
"On Friday, the House oversight committee released notes of a 27 December telephone call from Trump to then acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen, in which Trump told Rosen: “Just say the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R congressmen.” The notes were taken by Richard Donoghue, Rosen’s deputy, who was also on the call."
Great idea!
But OTOH some anti-Fascist people spend so much time adding comments to pro-fascist articles ...ensuring that they stay on front page!
Why????
the last administration was a bottomless well of corruption.
and continues to besmirch the reputation of the Presidency of one Donald J Trump.
Es ist eine grosse shande.
ja wohl
a never ending amount of people were from the very Bottom, of that swamp Trump swore he would drain, and he did drain it somewhat, so as he could find the dirtiest of the slimiest scum bagz dwelling in said swamp, and then appoint them to positions in his drugged together Cabinet and Administration where they required ethics and moral castration, to completrely fck over our ignorant nation. To defend Trump at this point, is beyond denial of how so many people were duped by the far Right, Russian intrusion, and some other grand illusion to cause confusion due to people to stubborn to admit they fcked up, cause , THEY FCKD UP ! This piece of Ship should be in prison, all while his defenders deflect without their sordid shields on stun, cause they aren't even phased, irregardless of what Trump has done, and he has done much and when the history books are done, EVERYONE WILL SEE TRUMP WAS BY FAR, the WORST ONE
'Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink'. In spite of all of this, the man currently infesting Bedminster remains untethered and on the grift.
Contradictory statements...
Like that ever stopped a trump lover.
LOL, pretty true.
Who wants a return of Trump and his crime family?
Look no further than the anti maskers on this site...
Putin and the rest of the autocrats. That is the answer you seek.
His asking the DOJ to say the election was corrupt and that he and other R traitors would take it from there may be the new shot heard around the world. He will of course throw those congressmen under the bus in a desperate attempt to take the heat off of himself. The committee so has to dispose him and hold his feet to the fire.
What gets me is they still don't care. The adage that he could shoot someone on 5th avenue, on camera, with a close up and a verbal confession...they would not care....
Now that he can longer infest the DOJ with his ass kissing lackeys, I think he is in for one very rude wake up call.
Here is a question.
Name me one historical political figure that was revealed to have a tryst with an adult film star while his wife was home with a two month old baby and still had a successful political outcome? And especially a person whose lawyer was convicted of arranging the cover up and payment for that cover up.
There is something about Trump that does not add up. When ever that is figured out the mystery of Trumpism will be revealed.
I personally do not understand how a liar, cheat, fraud and grifter continues to hold influence on a significant per cent of the American population. Any answers, anybody?
The Republicans have been stoking their base with grievance politics for years. Along comes Trump, a master of grievance demagoguery, and the base swoons.
Yeah. GRIEVANCE POLITICS. And that is a term that has never been explained or even justified.
nobody ever wishes to be wrong, and or the one to blame, when things aren't going to swell. The GOP played the Race Card, the Boogie Man card, the socio-economic card, they're coming to take your guns card, then finally the Trump card. 'It's all those damn Democrats that are poor sucking up OUR monies while we carry America, a game designed and played for many a year, all while don't look over here where we get it all on the backs of the middle class, cause we're wealthy, and better than the poor, but we'll just blame it on them, and they'll search for the problem No More. Cause the Trickle down the leg economics, the i=unnecessary WARS, the manipulation of the media and the peoples, from the Country Clubs and the Steeples, the ridiculously unfair tax code and the illegals are stealing our jobs LOAD, was dumped on the ignorant so as they would need not blame themselves for their failures as they voted against their best interests, cause they could not understand the true sources of their inadequacies and our entire countries uneven playing field, originated by they not playing the field, or learning about a purposely severely complex and boring manipulation of the American people, due to words twisted and some unlisted, cause how could so many of missed it....cause it could never be due to they, it was the Hispanic, or the Gay, not US who are always White and Right, cause NO WAY could it be the fault of people who would RAther believe a lying sack of shit, or that person in the mirror, over it, with iT BEING THE TRUTH of the matters, but it doesn't to they, why. well let me just say, i'm sorry, as i am wrong, as i mistakenly believed some Lying clowns over the TRUTH, right there in front of our faces and facts, but look , it's the people who look different to you, or have not as much money, cause we all know, it could never be US, just some good ole boys making a fuss, cause i gotta end this as i just becomes more and more disgust Ted with all with minds so small and mouths so big, cause you must know by now, Trump actually won an election, via being a poll unable to post an erection pole or seedy roll modeling less erected was the Truth than Trumpulthinskins spoof, on our American way of life, and for many who gave so much, it's gotta cut like a knife without the charade or a blade not dull, leaving much to over insert into ones skull, about a winning loser living in a motel 6, looking for sex, by attempting to with a Trump the Dick, and so small, attempting ta FCK US ALL
Had Kennedy not been assassinated, his affair with Monroe most likely would have ruined his political future.
not much left after being POTUS.
Perhaps. But his 'political future' would have doomed by the MIC had he decided to stay out of Vietnam anyway.
I am referring mostly to a chance at a second term.
The MIC?
military industrial complex
Ahh ok. but I am still confused by your comment. Did you mean if Kennedy had?
Yeah. The MIC which Eisenhower warned us about wanted to go to Vietnam and exploit their resources, primarily rubber and oil. And they wanted to build bigger and better killing machines so they could get rich
I am stilled confused by the Kennedy association.
Some think the CIA along with the MIC had Kennedy assassinated
Allegedly--------JFK was harboring doubt about US military involvement in Vietnam---Also he allegedly asked what the end game would be and no one gave him an answer. He was then assassinated.
I do not think so. I blame the right wing------The Antebellum crowd.
''Trump lashes out'' that forked tongue must be getting pretty frayed by now.
A truer picture was never made to describe what comes out of the Liar In Chief's mouth.
A giant turd would work too.
Indeed it would. However, the Liar in Chief would not know the difference, as he is too busy smelling his own ass and thinking it is a wonderful aroma, as that is what his devoted minions tells him and he is more than happy to believe them.
A big steaming pile of shit works too.
The wheels of justice need to be oiled.
You all know he's going to say that Rosen and Donaghue are liars. He never said that. He doesn't even know those guys
I foresee a bus shortage on the east coast between NYC and DC.
You're also forgetting that ( he ) has his photo taken with alot of people, none of them of which he knows.
When he does that he's making his case for Alzheimer's
