Former U.S. Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark is set to face an ethics hearing held by a District of Columbia bar committee this week. The hearing originates from charges related to Clark’s alleged involvement in former President Donald Trump’s attempts to contest the results of the 2020 elections.
The D.C. Office of Disciplinary Counsel rebukes Clark for his purported attempts to undertake conduct involving dishonesty, which they believe would interfere with the administration of justice. Specifically, Clark is accused of attempting to dispatch a letter to Georgia lawmakers. In this letter, he allegedly claimed that the DOJ had found “irregularities” in the state’s election results.
