Jeffrey Clark’s bid to aid Trump election scheme violated attorney rules, DC Bar panel finds
Disciplinary investigators who brought the charges against Clark say they intend to advocate for his disbarment.
A disciplinary panel in Washington has found that Jeffrey Clark, a former high-ranking Justice Department official, violated ethics rules for lawyers in his attempt to aid Donald Trump’s bid to subvert the 2020 election.
The three-member disciplinary committee determined Thursday that Clark’s campaign to pressure Justice Department leaders to help upend the transfer of power to Joe Biden violated his duties as an attorney.
The preliminary ruling jumpstarts a process that could lead to the suspension or even permanent revocation of Clark’s license to practice law, even as he’s considered a candidate for a senior position in a second Trump administration. Disciplinary investigators who brought the charges against Clark say they intend to advocate for his disbarment.
