Friend,

I have serious news from the Senate Judiciary Committee: We just released our interim report about former president Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

Our report reveals how Trump nearly destroyed the Constitution in his attempt to abuse the Department of Justice to overturn the election. The details are truly horrifying.

In a Jan. 3 Oval Office meeting between Trump, former Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, and other Department of Justice and White House officials, the former president repeatedly pressured his attorney general to resign so he could install a Trump loyalist who would pursue Trump's false claims of voter fraud.

There's no other way to call it: On Jan. 3, Donald Trump tried to weaponize the Department of Justice to overturn a free and fair election. Three days later, he held a "Stop the Steal" rally that incited a violent and deadly insurrection on the Capitol.

Friend, these truths are appalling, but they are only the tip of the iceberg – and as a former U.S. attorney and state attorney general, I can tell you that there is very real potential for consideration of criminal charges against Donald Trump. We must continue gathering all the facts about everyone involved, from Donald Trump to his family, to officials in his administration.

By contrast, nearly the entire Republican Party is consolidated around protecting themselves and covering up any wrongdoing and illegal actions by Donald Trump. In spite of evidence to the contrary, my Republican colleagues on the Judiciary Committee have chosen to conclude that Trump did not use the justice system to overturn the election. That is why I'm counting on grassroots Democrats like you to speak out by the thousands.

In light of these new revelations, even if you've spoken up before, I am urgently asking you to keep holding Donald Trump accountable. We cannot back down now. So please, let me know where you stand:

Should criminal charges be considered for Donald Trump, his family, and members of Congress if it's proved that they aided the Jan. 6 insurrectionists? Click here to add your name if you agree.

The truth is becoming clearer and clearer – and all signs point to the most dangerous, anti-democratic behavior of Donald Trump. It's up to us to hold him accountable. Thank you for continuing to speak out.

Dick
