- Blanche Is Targeting the D.C. Bar to Remove Ethical Guardrails for the Justice Department
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has filed a lawsuit against the D.C. Bar to stop disciplinary action against Jeffrey Clark, a DOJ lawyer who served during the first Trump administration and was recommended for disbarment for making false statements in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election. The DOJ claims the D.C. Bar's case is an example of 'weaponization' and has established a $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund to compensate individuals like Clark.
