Former President Donald Trump’s actions in trying to overturn the 2020 election are being investigated as part of a criminal probe by the Justice Department, the Washington Post reported late Tuesday.
Citing four sources familiar with the matter, the Post reported that prosecutors have questioned multiple witnesses in recent days in front of a grand jury, asking detailed questions about Trump’s meetings in December 2020 and January 2021 and instructions he gave his attorneys and advisers about fake electors.
Trump spoke Tuesday in Washington, focusing on crime and saying the U.S. needs to “be tough, and be nasty and be mean if we have to.” He also refused to accept his loss in the 2020 election, continuing to spout baseless claims of election fraud. On Monday, former Vice President Mike Pence’s former chief of staff, Marc Short, testified before the federal grand jury investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol assault.
