CBS News has learned that law enforcement authorities have searched the home of former Trump-era Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, who was a particular focus of the House Jan. 6 committee hearing on Thursday.
Clark is believed to be central to the efforts of then-President Donald Trump and his allies to delay the certification of the 2020 election results and promote baseless claims that Joe Biden had not legitimately won the election.
The D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office confirmed to CBS News there was law enforcement activity Wednesday in the area where Clark's house is, but added that they do not comment on or discuss the nature of law enforcement activity. The search came just one day before the House Jan. 6 committee hearing zeroed in on Trump's efforts to install Clark at the helm of the Justice Department while the former president relentlessly pushed the DOJ to investigate baseless claims of election fraud. The White House even circulated a memo on Jan. 3, 2021, calling Clark the attorney general.
