Jeffrey Clark tells Senate he was targeted, recounts raid and threats
Summary
Jeffrey Clark testified he was the subject of overlapping investigations that imposed personal and professional costs, described a home search and threats, and invoked several privileges to avoid answering some committee questions about his communications with the White House.
Jeffrey Clark told the subcommittee that he and his family suffered serious consequences from the investigations he says were part of a broader political campaign. "At one point, my home was raided. My family's devices were seized," Clark said, adding emotional detail about the raid's effect on his child.
Clark then described threats he said followed the publicity and said he reported them to the FBI. He defended his professional conduct and criticized what he characterized as improper predication and coordination across investigative bodies. Under questioning, Clark repeatedly asserted executive, law-enforcement, deliberative-process and attorney-client privileges and declined to provide specifics about his communications with the president or other White House officials.
Democratic senators on the panel pressed Clark to answer questions under oath and said he should not be allowed to invoke privilege for matters that the public has a right to know, while Republicans said his testimony underscored the harms they attribute to Arctic Frost.
