The second day of former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark's disciplinary hearing painted a picture of someone who remained adamant that there were irregularities and fraud in the 2020 election that required deeper examination, despite numerous attempts by his superiors to convince him otherwise.
FILE - Jeffrey Clark, Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, speaks during a news conference at the Justice Department in Washington, on Sept. 14, 2020. Former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark could face sanctions, including disbarment in Washington, D.C., if a three-person panel thinks he violated ethics rules in his role in trying to help former President Donald Trump overturn the 2020 presidential election.
“Mr. Clark wasn't very forthcoming. He just indicated these were his ideas. He thought they were good ones,” Rosen said. “He had expressed interest in the ODNI report, so I thought that was a way to both prevent him from giving poor advice to the president and perhaps to see why it was that the rest of the department had the position we had,” Rosen testified.
Rosen's testimony took up most of the day. Clark was called to testify by Hamilton Fox III, the disciplinary counsel at the hearing, over the objections of Clark's attorneys, who indicated their client had made clear he would invoke privilege. At one point, following Fox's questioning, board member Patricia Mathews asked who Clark's client was for his invocation of attorney-client privilege and Clark responded: “President Trump. The head of the executive branch. The sole and the unitary head of Article Two, the executive branch of the United States government.”
