violated at least one attorney ethics rule during a bid to enlist the agency to examine alleged election irregularities in 2020.
Hamilton “Phil” Fox, the head of the district’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel, which brought the civil charges, said he would seek to have Clark disbarred. The three-member committee for the District of Columbia Board on Professional Responsibility found that Clark’s conduct violated at least one attorney ethics rule.
“Mr. Clark, who would probably be making over a million dollars a year leading the environmental Administrative Law Group at a major D.C. law firm. But for this matter he has been subjected to endless trouble, public ridicule and opprobrium,” MacDougald said. Last week and this week, Clark’s defense counsel brought forward experts to testify, including Donald Elliot, a former general counsel to the Environmental Protection Agency who said the gray area in which Clark operated at the DOJ was necessary for a functioning agency.
Clark told two of his superiors, acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen and Rosen’s deputy Richard Donoghue, that if they sent his draft letter to Georgia officials, he would decline Trump’s offer to lead the DOJ, an effort that Fox claimed could have thrown into doubt the peaceful transfer of power.
