YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Sidney Powell, who was one of Trump’s main lawyers backing his election fraud claims, told the panel Trump wanted her appointed as a special counsel to conduct an investigation into the allegations.

Trump “was extremely frustrated” by the lack of allegiance he was getting from the leadership of the Justice Department, Powell said in recorded testimony.

Engel, who was serving as head of the department’s office of legal counsel at the time, told the committee there was no justification to have a special counsel.
