Judge Says DC White Nationalist Seemed to Be 'Planning Something,' Orders Him Held on Gun Charges

A judge ordered a suspected white nationalist from Washington, D.C., held in jail on federal firearms charges, telling him, "Seems like you were planning something."

Jeffrey Clark Jr. pleaded not guilty Friday afternoon.

An FBI affidavit says Clark admitted he was a member of white nationalist groups and told investigators he had contact with the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue shooter on social media, praising him as a hero. The affidavit says Clark connected with Robert Bowers on Gab, a social networking site.

According to the affidavit, Clark openly discussed killing people of the Jewish faith, as well as African Americans. The affidavit said Clark spoke about Bowers, claiming the synagogue shootings were “justified,” because a same-sex “Jewish couple was having an adopted baby circumcised that week.”
