According to the Washington Post reported on the 7th local time, on the same day, the US Senate Judiciary Committee released a 394 page investigation report detailing the actions of former president trump and senior lawyers of the Department of justice trying to overturn the results of the 2020 US presidential election.

It is reported that the report revealed new details about the "struggle" between trump and the U.S. Department of Justice: the report said that trump wanted to remove the then acting attorney general Rosen on January 3 and let Jeffrey Clark, a lawyer of the Department of justice who supported the conspiracy theory of election fraud, take over to overturn his election defeat.
However, the chairman of the committee, Senator Richard J. Durbin, said that Trump's attempt to "take over" the Ministry of justice was blocked by a few people who adhered to principles and opposed trump.

According to Rosen's testimony to the committee, trump said at the meeting: "I only know one thing, you, Rosen, will not do anything to overthrow the election."
According to the report, during the meeting, Rosen's deputy Richard Donoghue and a Justice Department official made it clear that "in the three-hour meeting, if trump replaces Rosen with Clark, all U.S. prosecutors and other senior Department officials of the Justice Department will resign".
According to the Washington Post, a crucial point of this meeting is that Clark and trump hope that the Justice Department will send a letter to Georgia officials warning them of "irregularities" in voting and suggesting that the state legislature participate in the investigation of the general election voting. According to the report, Clark believes that this letter should also be sent to trump supporters in order to compete for the number of votes in the general election.

However, Rosen and Donohue refused to send such a letter, which greatly angered trump.
According to most Senate committee staff, White House lawyer pat cipollone called the letter a "murder suicide agreement".
Senator Richard Blumenthal, a member of the US Judicial Council, said: "this moment is creepy and almost tearing up the constitution because trump is trying to subvert and corrupt the Constitution and the Department of justice."
According to the guardian on the 8th, trump held at least nine teleconferences with Rosen and Donohue, asking why the Ministry of justice did not take more measures to investigate his unfounded allegations of "election theft" and put pressure on them. However, Rosen basically rejected these "threats" and said that the Justice Department would pursue misconduct allegations.

In addition, mark meadows, former chief of staff of the White House, also pressed lawyers of the Justice Department to investigate at least four allegations of election fraud, including a conspiracy theory called "Italy gate", which believes that the CIA and Italian contractors used military satellites to manipulate the US election, And change Trump's vote to Biden's vote.

Trump's efforts eventually led to a large-scale riot in the US Capitol on January 6, but it ended in failure. The report also said that it expressed concern about the future election situation, which proved that the U.S. Democratic system largely depends on the integrity of government staff, and the internal structure of the system is extremely fragile. It also suggested that there should be a "clear division of labor" between the White House and the judiciary.
It is reported that Sheldon Whitehouse, a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Democrat, said on the 7th: "today's report shows the American people how close we are to the constitutional crisis."
"In order to expose Trump's lies, Rosen and Donohue have faced great pressure and insisted on the independence of the judiciary. But next time we may not have Rosen and Donohue," Whitehouse said
