Wall Street Journal: White House pressured Georgia federal prosecutor to resign

[ad_1]

The newspaper, citing people familiar with the matter, reported Saturday that a senior Justice Department official called U.S. prosecutor Byung J. Pak, appointed by Trump, at the request of the White House. The official told Pak he needed to resign because he was not investigating allegations of Trump’s taste, the newspaper reported.
As previously reported by CNN, there have been no credible allegations about any voting issues that would have affected the election, as claimed by dozens of judges, governors, election officials, the Electoral College, the Department of Justice, the Department of Security National, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
According to the newspaper, Christine, nominated by Trump, took on these roles in addition to her role in the southern district, rather than Pak office number 2 taking over as an actor, as is often the case.
Paschale declined to comment to CNN other than confirming Christine’s appointment.
But in a phone call in early December, first reported by the Post, Trump had tried to convince Georgia’s Republican Gov. Brian Kemp to let state lawmakers overturn Biden’s victory in the state.
In excerpts from this impressive one-hour phone call, Trump bragged to his fellow Republicans for refusing to falsely say he won the Georgia election and repeatedly made baseless allegations of election fraud.
Raffensperger rejected Trump’s claims that responded in part: “We believe we have accurate choices.”
CNN’s Jason Hoffman, Evan Perez, Devan Cole, Jason Morris and Chandelis Duster contributed to this report.
