Frankly, we did win this election.

So, we will be going to the U.S. Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop.

所以,我们将诉诸美国最高法院,我们希望所有人都停止投票。

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee say they now have e-mails that show Trump and his staff pressured top Justice Department officials last December to file a lawsuit in the Supreme Court, in an attempt to nullify the 2020 election.

众议院监督委员会的民主党人表示,他们现在掌握的电子邮件显示,去年12月,特朗普及其工作人员曾向司法部高级官员施压,要求他们向最高法院提起诉讼,试图宣布2020年大选无效。

In one e-mail, a Trump White House official sent an entire draft lawsuit to then acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen for the Justice Department to use to throw out election results in six states.

在一封电子邮件中,特朗普的一名白宫官员向当时的代理司法部长杰弗里·罗森发送了一份完整的诉讼草案,供司法部用来公布六个州的选举结果。

"The president asked me to send the attached draft document for your review," the official wrote to Rosen and other senior Justice Department officials on December 29. Rosalind Helderman of The Washington Post:

12月29日,这名官员在写给罗森和其他司法部高级官员的信中说:“总统让我把附件中的草稿发给你们审阅。”《华盛顿邮报》的罗莎琳德·海德曼说:

And it's incredibly unprecedented the notion that the president of the United States is pressuring his own Justice Department to intervene in an election that he lost to help him overturn it.

美国政府向自己的司法部施压,要求其干预他输掉的选举,以助他推翻选举,这是前所未有的。

It's like nothing, frankly, we have seen in American history.

Other documents show White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and senior Trump aides directly e-mailed Rosen, urging him look into various unsubstantiated claims of election fraud,

including a conspiracy theory about military satellites in Italy altering vote totals.

You're looking at, New Year's Day, a course of just a few hours, and the president's chief of staff is trying to get the top law enforcement agency in the country to look into wild allegations, one after another.

你现在看到的是,在新年这天,短短几个小时的过程,总统的幕僚长正试图让全国最高执法机构调查一个又一个的疯狂指控。

Four more years!

再任四年!

This came at the same time as Trump's previously reported calls to election officials in Georgia and other states, urging them to throw out valid votes.

与此同时,据报道,特朗普曾打电话给乔治亚州和其他州的选举官员,敦促他们扔掉有效选票。

Trump also was in direct contact with a top DOJ official who was applying pressure from inside the department to overturn the election.

The president was trying as hard as he could to get his Justice Department to intervene to help him overturn the election.
