Not the type to abandon an old grudge, Trump added, “The 2020 Presidential Election, being Rigged and Stolen, is a far bigger SCANDAL. Look what happened to our Country when a Crooked Moron became our ‘President!’ We now know everything.”
Nevertheless, the president pushed for another investigation, writing, “I hope the DOJ pursues this with as much ‘gusto’ as befitting the biggest SCANDAL in American history! If not, it will happen again, including the upcoming Midterms.”
Trump also warned Republicans to “get smart” and enact voter restrictions ASAP.
“No mail-in or ‘Early’ Voting, Yes to Voter ID!” he wrote. “Watch how totally dishonest the California Prop Vote is! Millions of Ballots being ‘shipped.’ GET SMART REPUBLICANS, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!”
It’s unclear why Trump decided on scare quotes while mentioning California’s special election, where voters are set to decide whether or not to approve a redistricting plan which would likely net the state five more Democratic seats in the House of Representatives.
Since 2021, every registered voter in the Golden State is automatically sent a vote-by-mail ballot, no matter their party affiliation.
When it comes to voter ID, 36 states (both red and blue) require people to show some form of identification when they get to the polls.

Trump’s public push to get the DOJ to investigate the 2020 election comes just days after The Wall Street Journal reported the White House had hired dedicated “Stop the Steal” lawyer Kurt Olsen as a “special government employee.”
According to officials, Olsen is already asking “intelligence agencies for information about the 2020 election” and is also intent on weeding out government employees he “believes are disloyal” to the president.
