Trump offers a non-denial denial
In an email to his supporters on Saturday, Trump accused Democrats of misrepresenting the notes.
Trump attempted to reverse the blame, writing, "The corrupt and highly partisan House Democrats who run the House Oversight Committee yesterday released documents—including court filings dealing with the rigged election of 2020—that they dishonestly described as attempting to overturn the election."
"In fact, it is just the opposite," Trump added in his Saturday statement. "The documents were meant to uphold the integrity and honesty of elections and the sanctity of our vote."
"The American People want, and demand, that the President of the United States, its chief law enforcement officer in the country, stand with them to fight for Election Integrity and to investigate attempts to undermine our nation," the former president continued. "Our country has just suffered an incredibly corrupt Presidential Election, and it is time for Congress and others to investigate how such corruption was allowed to take place rather than investigating those that are exposing this massive fraud on the American People."

Poor guy. If he hasn't appreciated the power and evil of the Swamp by now, he never will.
(NY Times) WASHINGTON — President Donald J. Trump pressed top Justice Department officials late last year to declare that the election was corrupt even though they had found no instances of widespread fraud, so that he and his allies in Congress could use the assertion to try to overturn the results, according to new documents provided to lawmakers and obtained by The New York Times.
