I had some concerns because it seemed as if this, the vaccine came up so quickly, said Women United Chair TaJuan Stout Mitchell.
The outlet reported that Perry, who earlier this month voted in favor to object to the election results in Pennsylvania and Arizona in Congress, coordinated the introduction between Trump and Jeffrey Clark, the acting chief of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) civil division.
Clark had reportedly been receptive to Trump s claims that the 2020 election had been stolen from him.

The Times initially reported Friday that Trump sought to replace Rosen with Clark after Rosen refused to support Trump’s disputed claims that the presidential election was tainted by widespread voter fraud. Four former Trump administration officials told the newspaper that the plot to replace Rosen failed after DOJ officials uncovered the plan and threatened to resign en masse.
“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.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. It wasn’t easy for Nichelle Thurston to save $20,000.
She was working as a front desk clerk at the Louisville Water Co., raising four kids with her husband and attending nursing school. But she was also saving money, and diligently so. After a few years, she had enough to buy a food truck.
She created her own website, paid a local artist to design a logo, and, with three employees, began operation as The Seafood Lady.
It took off. Within six months, she had a brick-and-mortar restaurant, and today, she and her husband, Luke, operate three establishments.
