The Department of Justice is investigating former President Donald Trump‘s actions as part of its criminal probe on the January 6 Capitol attack, The Washington Post reported Tuesday evening.
Sources told the paper that federal prosecutors have interviewed witnesses before a grand jury and asked them about conversations between Trump, his lawyers and members of his inner circle regarding a plot to replace Electoral College members with pro-Trump alternate electors.
Prosecutors have asked detailed questions about meetings Trump held in December 2020 and January 2021, gathering information on his pressure campaign on Vice President Mike Pence, and what instructions – if any – Trump gave his team about the fake electors scheme.
