Most Americans don't know Jeffrey Clark — the environmental lawyer whom fmr. President Trump wanted to take over the Justice Dept. to aid his effort to overturn the 2020 election. Jan. 6 committee hopes its Thursday hearing might change that.

Rosen started realizing something was"off-kilter," that"something odd was going on with Jeff Clark," when it was learned that he had, in violation of a Justice Department rule banning contact between Justice Department officials and the White House except through proper channels, met with Trump.

Thursday's Jan. 6 committee hearing will feature testimony from Rosen, former acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue and Steven Engel, the former assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel; all were appointed by Trump. All three are expected to testify about Trump's efforts to make Clark the acting attorney general and their threats to quit if he did.

“We’re really going to look into how in the waning weeks of his administration President Trump tried to pressure the Department of Justice into helping overturn the 2020 election,” a committee aide said ahead of the hearing. Previous testimony indicates Clark was a true believer who was convinced the election had been stolen. To his colleagues at the Justice Department, according to the testimony, he was the butt of the joke, a guy who — in spite of his education — lacked the ability to discern fact from fiction on the World Wide Web.

Jeffrey Clark Is A MAGA Goon

Where are they finding these weird characters? Look at him… Omg! Hope his wife is ok with the fbi raid on their home. FBI hasn’t raided Maralago yet.

The testicles of Trump's SeditiousConspiracy has officially reached TheJusticeDept....

What Americans care about. What the media pushes

I don't have satellite or cable so, for every hearing, I have to decide if the witnesses are data-worthy. Watching this monkeyass may be worth it, tho.

If these hearings were a series they would have been cancelled after the first episode..

TheRickWilson It’s hard to think about what could have happened if this wasn’t a crew of keystone cops led by a drunken reprobate taking orders from a cheeseburger slopping clown. Seems without fox propaganda helping this would have never gotten this far.
