Donald Trump, who is currently facing legal actions in at least four different jurisdictions, may be preparing to insert himself into yet another case — that of a former Justice Department lawyer facing disciplinary action in the nation’s capital.

Attorney and Trump ally Jeffrey Clark, who Trump reportedly considered installing as attorney general as lawyers scrambled to keep the former president in office despite losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden, allegedly drafted a letter in support of a plan for states to send slates of unauthorized electors to cast votes for Trump. As Law&Crime previously reported, Clark’s “false statements” in that draft — in which Clark indicated that the DOJ had “identified significant concerns” with the election — formed the basis of an ethics complaint filed by the D.C. Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel.

Now, according to a letter sent to Clark by Trump lawyer Todd Blanche, the former president wants to stop Clark from sharing details of conversations they had in the waning days of the administration.
