“Unconscionable a Trump Justice Department leader would conspire to subvert the people's will,” Schumer tweeted. “The Justice Dept Inspector General must launch an investigation into this attempted sedition now.”
Schumer added that the Senate will “move forward” with an impeachment trial into Trump over his role in inciting the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. The trial is set to begin the week of Feb. 8.

The remarks come a day after The New York Times published a bombshell report indicating that Trump tried to remove his acting attorney general in a bid to overturn the presidential election results in Georgia.
