Trump pushed so-called 'murder-suicide pact' to 'shred Cons ution' in Oval Office meeting
During an Oval Office meeting on Jan. 3, Trump pushed to install a loyalist as acting attorney general who would conduct additional investigations into his false claims of widespread election fraud,
several top Department of Justice officials threatened to resign en masse if Trump went through with the plan.
White House counsel Pat A. Cipollone also threatened to resign and said his top deputy, Patrick F. Philbin, would step down, too.
Senate committee's report provides the "most complete account yet of Mr.
Trump's efforts to push the department to validate election fraud claims that had been disproved by the F.B.I. and state investigators,"
Justice Department officials scrambled to stave off a series of events during a period when
Trump was getting advice about blocking certification of the election from a lawyer he had first seen on television
and the president's actions were so unsettling that his top general and the House speaker discussed the nuclear chain of command,"
Trump would have "shredded the Cons ution to stay in power."
just how close we came to a cons utional crisis,"

law professor Ryan Goodman explained how the findings so far portray

Well, the President has offered me the position of Acting Attorney General. I told him I would let him know my decision on Monday. I need to think about that a little bit more.'"
Rosen told Senate investigators that he felt Clark was trying to coerce him into sending the corrupt letter by threatening to take his job on Trump's order.
Trump made the same threat himself on Dec. 31 to Rosen and Donoghue by threatening to fire and replace them with Clark, and the report notes that White House chief of staff was present at the Oval Office meeting -- making him a key witness to one of the ex-president's most corrupt acts.
"Bombs in Dec. 27 call with Trump and Rosen-Donoghue ('just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me') was
Trump's threat to fire and replace them with Clark,"
"Was unclear if Meadows was on that call. Now clear Meadows was in similar New Year's Eve meeting."
Trump offered Clark to install him as acting attorney general and Clark accepted."
