money Trump’s acting attorney general refuses to say if he discussed overturning election results
Donald Trump’s acting attorney general has refused to answer whether he discussed with the former president efforts to overturn or reject election results in the lead up to 6 January.
Jeffrey Rosen told members of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday that he met with the former president on 3 January but said only that their conversation did “not relate to planning and preparations for the events of 6 January.”
In a heated round of questions, Democratic US Rep Gerry Connolly pressed Mr Rosen to answer whether those conversations involved rejecting election results.
“I think the American people are entitled to an answer, Mr Rosen,” he said.
Mr Rosen said he would not discuss “private” conversations at the White House.
