DOJ search of Jeffrey's Clark home tied to obstruction and conspiracy probe, filing says
Washington — A search by federal agents of former Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark's home in June is tied to a criminal investigation into possible violations of laws related to false statements, conspiracy and obstruction of justice, according to a filing from a District of Columbia Bar committee published Wednesday.
The partially redacted filing, which came as part of an ethics case involving Clark being considered by the D.C. Bar's disciplinary arm, indicates that Clark told legal authorities that on the morning of June 20, roughly a dozen agents with the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General executed a search warrant at his Virginia home and seized his electronic devices "in connection with an investigation into violations" of three federal statutes. CNN first reported the filing.
Clark has asked for his disciplinary case before the D.C. Bar's Board on Professional Responsibility be put on hold pending several investigations, including those from the Justice Department, the House select committee examining the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol and a Fulton County, Georgia, special grand jury.
