The D.C. Bar’s disciplinary arm has recommended that longtime Donald Trump ally Jeffrey Clark lose his law license for assisting Trump’s failed bid to overturn the 2020 election.
The recommendation now heads to the D.C. Court of Appeals for a final determination. It also triggers an automatic suspension for Clark from practicing law, unless he convinces the court within 30 days to intervene and block that immediate punishment.
Clark, who was a top Justice Department official during Trump’s first term, is currently leading the Trump administration’s regulatory review in the Office of Management and Budget. Lawyers for Clark did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
“The fight continues,” Clark said in a series of posts on X, shortly after the decision.
