Former Trump DOJ official brings Sidney Powell co-counsel to Hill deposition
of Clark and MacDougald departing a congressional office building after the deposition. It’s unclear if Clark answered the committee’s questions while he was behind closed doors, though he appears to have been with the panel for less than two hours — a fairly short appearance. A spokesperson for the select committee declined to comment.
Clark was a top official at the Justice Department in the final weeks of Trump’s presidency and helped orchestrate an effort to challenge the results of the election in multiple states, including Georgia., Clark drafted a letter to multiple states that would have informed officials that DOJ had "taken notice" of election irregularities in their state.
Clark also drafted a letter claiming the FBI had reason to believe there was significant election fraud in multiple states Biden won — a claim that was false. Clark wanted to send the letter to those states’ legislatures, but Rosen and his deputy Richard Donoghue both refused.that was part of Powell’s broad effort to invalidate the results of the 2020 election in multiple states.
Before the post-election chaos unfolded, Clark had a relatively low profile as the head of the department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division. He was previously a partner at Kirkland & Ellis.
