  • The board’s formal recommendation now advances to the D.C. Court of Appeals, which will determine whether to revoke his law license.
  • Clark remains acting head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the White House Office of Management and Budget.
  • He pleaded not guilty to 2023 Georgia racketeering and false-statement charges connected to efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
