One of Trump's key advisers has revealed the former President's plans for the future. According to The Times, Rosen rejected Trump's requests for the Justice Department to file legal briefs supporting his allies' lawsuits seeking to overturn election results, and to appoint special counsels to investigate voter fraud. Clark was reportedly embraced by Trump due to his support for the President's claims that election was stolen. Ultimately, senior Department of Justice officials convened on a conference call agreed that if Rosen was replaced, they would all resign. Trump was persuaded to keep Rosen in place, fearing the furore mass resignations at the Justice Department would cause, according to The New York Times.
