Donald Trump intends to use the Justice Department to investigate baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged against him when he takes the oath of office in January, Washington Post reported on Friday night.

According to the report, Trump will also fire all DOJ employees who worked with the Special Counsel Jack Smith on the agency’s two criminal cases against him.

Smith announced he would resign from the department before Trump begins his second term, ending the election meddling and classified documents cases against the president-elect. Per it Postciting two sources, Trump will also remove “career lawyers who are usually protected from political retribution.”

The Post added that his sources had told him that Trump would open an investigation into the 2020 election:

Trump also plans to assemble investigative teams within the Justice Department to look for evidence in battleground states that fraud tainted the 2020 election, one of the people said.

The former and future president has since November 2020 claimed that states like Georgia and Pennsylvania cheated him out of consecutive words — claims that were never supported by any evidence.

Trump announced on Friday, he had wiretapped the former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi to lead the Justice Department after former GOP congressman Matt Gaetz took his name out of consideration.

Gaetz, whose nomination briefly succeeded in unifying much of the Senate, has since announced that he will not return to the chamber in the upcoming session and plans to work for Trump in some capacity.
