A Washington, D.C., disciplinary panel has recommended that former President Donald Trump’s top environmental attorney should lose his law license for two years.
In a report released Thursday, the oversight panel found that there was “clear and convincing evidence” that Jeffrey Bossert Clark engaged in dishonest and reckless conduct by insisting in late 2020 that Department of Justice officials send a letter that falsely questioned President Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia.
“Mr. Clark was an environmental and civil litigator,” the report said. “He had no experience with criminal investigations and in his position as Acting Assistant Attorney General had no responsibility for and no involvement in any investigations relating to election matters.”
The recommendations will now be considered by the D.C. Bar’s Board of Professional Responsibility, which will pass along its own findings to the D.C. Court of Appeals.
