Georgia Prosecutor Was Forced Out After Refusing TFG's Demands to Probe Voter Fraud

Trump continues to claim without any evidence that he lost in Georgia and several other battleground states because of widespread voter fraud. In the wake of his Georgia loss, Trump pressured Georgia's Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, and Governor Brian Kemp to find a way to overturn his loss.

Trump also applied pressure to Byung Jin "BJay" Pak, a former Atlanta-based U.S. attorney, according to newly released Senate Judiciary Committee testimony.

Pak was interviewed by the Senate committee in August, but the report was first made public on Thursday. The former federal prosecutor said Trump viewed him as a "Never Trumper" and wanted to fire him, but he resigned instead. Trump's former acting U.S. deputy attorney general, Richard Donoghue, informed him that the president wanted him out, according to Pak.

"Mr. Donoghue relayed to me that the President was very unhappy and that he wanted to fire me, that he believed that I was a Never Trumper," Pak told the committee and its attorneys during the August 11 hearing, according to the official transcript. "And Mr. Donoghue told me that he had told Mr. Trump that he thought that was incorrect, and that the President did not care but wanted me out of that spot.
