Legal Discipline Cases Against Rudy Giuliani, Jeff Clark Advance
(Bloomberg) -- Legal ethics prosecutions against Rudy Giuliani and Jeffrey Clark are progressing along with state, federal, and congressional probes exploring the role that they and others played in aiding Donald Trump’s effort to undo the 2020 election.
The DC Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel filed separate cases over the summer alleging that Giuliani and Clark -- both members of the local bar -- violated rules that govern the conduct of licensed attorneys.
Clark, a former Justice Department official under Trump, responded earlier this month to the charges, which accuse him of dishonesty and making false statements. Clark’s lawyers argue that he did nothing wrong or unlawful. They say the DC Bar’s regulators lack jurisdiction to prosecute him over advice he gave to a sitting president, that the case improperly delved into executive branch discussions, and that Clark was being targeted for his political affiliation as a Republican.
“At no time has President Trump complained about the legal, factual, and/or policy advice he received from Respondent or voluntarily submitted a dispute of that nature to the D.C. Bar for investigation and adjudication,” Clark’s attorney wrote.
