Citing sources familiar with the matter, The Wall Street Journal reported that the White House pushed the Trump appointed Byung Jae pack to resign as he quote wasn't doing enough to investigate US President Donald Trump's claims of election fraud.

The Justice Department tapped a new federal prosecutor to lead the Atlanta office the day after his resignation.

In a recent phone call with Georgia Secretary of State, Trump appeared to refer to pack as a never Trumper.

That's as Trump lobbied state officials to find enough votes to overturn the results of last month's presidential elections in which he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

The White House has declined to comment on the Justice Department's latest move.
