The committee will have a meeting on Wednesday. Members will review a report detailing the case for contempt against Clark at the business meeting. The panel will likely vote to send the matter to the House floor, where a vote is certain to refer Clark's case to the Justice Department for criminal charges.
Clark was involved in Donald Trump's plan to reverse the results of the 2020 election. According to documents and witness testimony provided to Congressional investigators, he urged two other top DOJ officials to send a letter to state lawmakers in the last weeks of the Trump administration, claiming the FBI had found evidence of major voter fraud. The FBI found no evidence of that.
witnesses have testified that Trump and Clark discussed removing the acting attorney general and installing Clark in his place. The top lawyers in the White House and DOJ threatened to leave if that happened. The idea never came to fruition.
The House voted to hold Steve Bannon in contempt and refer the matter to the DOJ after the committee moved to hold him in contempt in October. The U.S. attorney for D.C. announced criminal charges against the former Trump strategist. A status conference is set for December 7.
The committee isn't the only one that dislikes the two Trump allies. On the day of the Capitol riot, MarkMeadows refused to sit for a deposition with investigators. His lawyer wrote in the Washington Post that the committee did not accept his offer to answer written questions. The announcement on Clark did not give any clues about Meadows.
