The Insider reports:

Former Justice Department officials who served in Republican administrations, issued a call on Friday for the DOJ to prosecute Donald Trump, arguing that the January 6 committee has uncovered sufficient evidence for the unprecedented prosecution of a former president.

“The evidence is now overwhelming that Donald Trump was the driving force behind a massive criminal conspiracy to interfere with the official January 6 congressional proceeding and to defraud the United States of a fair election outcome,” the trio of Donald Ayer, Stuart M. Gerson, and Dennis Aftergut wrote in an opinion piece for The Atlantic.

Ayer and Gerson worked in the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations. Gerson also briefly served as the acting attorney general under President Bill Clinton, while Aftergut is a former federal prosecutor and former chief assistant city attorney for San Francisco.
