Former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark is facing a hearing to determine if he should be sanctioned for his alleged involvement in attempting to help then-President Donald Trump overturn the 2020 election. The hearing, held by the Washington, D.C., Office of Disciplinary Counsel, focused on Clark's actions following the election.
Clark is accused of engaging in dishonest conduct by suggesting a letter be sent to Georgia, indicating that the Justice Department was investigating irregularities in the state's election and urging state lawmakers to void Biden's electoral win. The disciplinary counsel at the hearing characterized Clark's actions as a coup attempt at the Department of Justice.
