Chapter 4 Just Call it Corrupt and leave the rest to me.

January 3, 2021, Clark informs DOJ leadership that he will accept President Trump's offer.

The final call between the two of them from 419 to 422 p.m. however, shows that President Trump spoke to acting attorney general Jeffrey Clark,

As a result, Rosen took four immediate steps to try and prevent Clark's ascension to attorney

general.
