US attorney told congressional investigators he abruptly resigned in January because Trump was about

fire him for not backing election-fraud claims

The US attorney in Atlanta who abruptly resigned in January said he did so because then-President Donald Trump was about to fire him over his refusal to back claims of election fraud, a source told The New York Times.

Byung J. Pak made the disclosure in a three-hour, closed-door testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, The Times reported.

Pak said Justice Department officials had warned him of the threat in January, The Times reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.

Pak told the committee that he had vetted Trump's claims of fraud in Georgia but had found no evidence backing them up, the paper reported.
