"DC Court Upholds Clark's Challenge Against Bar Investigators"

TL;DR Summary
A D.C. appeals court panel ruled that the attempt by D.C. bar authorities to subpoena documents from former Justice Department attorney Jeff Clark, potentially leading to his disbarment, would violate his Fifth Amendment rights. Clark is facing criminal charges in Georgia for his involvement in Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The court panel agreed that the subpoena would force Clark to effectively testify against his will, violating his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This ruling is the latest setback for bar authorities attempting to discipline Clark for his role in Trump's schemes.
