Trump called his acting attorney general almost daily to pressure him into investigate 2020 election-fraud claims, and was ignored every time, report says
Trump had replaced then-Attorney General Bill Barr with Rosen during his final 30 days in office, after Barr said the Justice Department had not uncovered any evidence of voter fraud on a scale that would delegitimize Biden's victory.
In recent weeks, further accounts have emerged of the lengths Trump went to in his bid to undermine Joe Biden's victory, with Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, fearing that the president was planning on invoking the Insurrection Act as part of a coup.

Rosen also told a congressional panel in May that under his stewardship, the Justice Department had taken no special action to lend credibility to Trump's election fraud allegations, and that he had seen no evidence to indicate they were credible.
But Rosen refused to promise Trump that he was going to take any action, remaining noncommittal in his response, the sources told The Post.
When someone doesn't give Trump what he wants he compulsively badgers them hoping that they will cave in to his demands.
Trump called Rosen to share claims of voter fraud and improper vote counts in the 2020 presidential election that led to his defeat. In sharing the claims, Trump asked Rosen what the Department of Justice (DOJ) could do about the issue, the Post reported.
Rosen told Congress in May that he didn’t follow through with what Trump wanted, ensuring that no action took place at that time, the Post reported.
Rosen did not promise any action in response and was noncommittal about the president's claims, the Post reported.
The Hill has reached out to Trump’s office for comment. Rosen did not respond to requests for comment by the Post.
No one can give an adequate response to an in doctrinated moron who will believe whatever a career liar like Trump tells him. The "intelligent" response can be only that you are quite stupid. How any person could worship the idiot, wannabe tyrant and career loser is beyond the comprehension of intelligent people.
