No Deferral For Jeffrey Clark

The District of Columbia Board on Professional Responsibility has affirmed the denial of Jeffrey Clark's request to defer the bar disciplinary proceedings.

The Board finds that no listed collateral proceeding - the federal and Georgia criminal investigations, the January 6th Committee investigation or a subpoena enforcement proceeding before the Court of Appeals - would be substantially likely to  "help to resolve material issues" in the ethics prosecution.

The Board notes that the subpoena enforcement proceeding has been resolved. (Mike Frisch)
