Former Acting AG Won't Say If Trump Asked Him To Overturn Election Results

Rosen met with Trump on Jan. 3 but would only say the talk did “not relate to planning and preparations for the events of January 6.”

Rep. Gerry Connolly asked Rosen whether those conversations involved rejecting election results.

“I think the American people are entitled to an answer, Mr. Rosen,” he said.

Rosen said he wouldn't discuss “private” conversations with the Cheeto, and Connelly promptly reminded him there was no claim of privilege from the White House about the conversation. Rosen wouldn't budge.

“Respectfully, I don’t think it’s my role here today to discuss communications with the president in the Oval Office or the White House,” he said.

“We had an unprecedented insurrection that led to seven deaths and you’re saying this is a privileged communication?” an incredulous Connolly said.

but went on later in the hearing to say Trump asked him to ensure the safety of the "demonstrators". So not only was that a new twist but he was providing portions of his private discussions. The hypocrisy of these idiots is breathtaking.
