Former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark has surrendered to Georgia authorities after being charged in the racketeering case along with former President Donald Trump and 17 others last week in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
He was booked at the Fulton County Jail early Friday and released on a $100,000 bond.
Clark, who served as assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s civil division from September 2020 to January 2021, helped promote Trump’s conspiracy theories about fraud in the presidential election. He was charged with violation of the Georgia RICO Act and criminal attempt to commit false statements and writings.
Excellent write-up
