Disciplinary proceedings against Trump ally Jeffrey Clark move forward

A federal judge has rejected Jeffrey Clark's effort to transfer disciplinary proceedings against him to federal court, clearing the way for the D.C. Bar to resume proceedings against the former assistant attorney general. Clark, a top ally in Donald Trump's bid to undermine the results of the 2020 presidential election, had tied up those proceedings for nearly eight months. D.C. Bar authorities charged Clark in July 2022 with engaging in "dishonest" conduct and seeking to "seriously interfere with the administration of justice" when he embarked on a weekslong effort to help Trump sow doubt about the results of the 2020 election.
