Jan. 6 panel set to dig into Trump's DOJ meddling
Donald Trump's bid to seize a second term that he didn't win ran into an early obstacle: The Justice Department kept debunking his false claims of fraud. On Thursday, the Jan. 6 select committee hopes to reveal new information about that chapter of the 2020 election.

By ERIC TUCKER
WASHINGTON - The Jan. 6 committee will hear from former Justice Department officials who faced down a relentless pressure campaign from Donald Trump over the 2020 presidential election results while suppressing a bizarre challenge from within their own ranks.
