Trump spent years trying to make the Justice Department his personal election-reversal machine. On June 23, 2022, the government’s paperwork and the committee’s sworn testimony both came back to haunt him. That’s not a conspiracy; that’s just the file marked receipts.

5 stars means maximum fallout. 1 star means a smaller self-own.
The House Jan. 6 committee’s June 23 hearing put former top Justice Department officials under oath and detailed Donald Trump’s push to get the department to bless false election-fraud claims, including his effort to replace acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen with Jeffrey Clark.
On the same day as the hearing, the National Archives told Trump it would turn over additional presidential records tied to his privilege claims, with delivery scheduled for July 8 unless a court blocked it.
