Biden DOJ has opened a criminal investigation into Trump for Jan 6 actions

In the Biden administration's latest attempt to prevent former President Donald Trump from taking another run at the presidency, the Department of Justice is now investigating Trump's conversations and phone records surrounding his claim that the 2020 election should have gone in his favor, as part of a criminal probe. This is separate from the January 6 Committee's efforts.

Witnesses who are being questioned before a grand jury, including aides to former Vice President Mike Pence, have been asked about conversations and communications between then-President Trump and those close to him who were investigating the electoral results in key battleground states after the 2020 general election, according to the Washington Post.
