Jeff Clark, who stepped down from his role in the White House regulatory shop earlier this month, has landed at a conservative watchdog group.

Clark joined the Oversight Project as vice president of litigation, the organization announced Tuesday. POLITICO was first to report Clark’s hire.

The group was formed in 2022 as a project of the Heritage Foundation but became its own entity in 2025.
