Trump-appointed judges shoot down Jeffrey Clark's bid to delay bar hearings

Former Justice Department official Jeff Clark, appointed by Donald Trump, cannot delay the District of Columbia Bar from pursuing disciplinary proceedings against him.

In June, Clark asked a federal appeals court to find that the D.C. Bar lacked the authority to sanction him for making false statements in his effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

However, a panel of three judges, two of which were appointed by Trump himself, disagreed with Clark on Tuesday.

"Appellant has not shown that intervening developments warrant reconsideration of the denial of a stay pending appeal," the order said.

It was not immediately clear if Clark would appeal the ruling.
