Trump Ally Pleads the 5th in Disbarment Hearing

TL;DR Summary
Jeffrey Clark, a lawyer whom Trump wanted to lead the Justice Department, repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right during a disbarment hearing related to his involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Clark faces criminal charges in Georgia and is also an unindicted co-conspirator in a federal election interference case against Trump. Former acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen testified that Clark was seeking to investigate election conspiracy theories "nowhere in his lane," and that his lack of experience was highlighted during a standoff in the Oval Office.
