Judge in Georgia election interference case hears motions from Trump co-defendant Jeffrey Clark
ABC News
A lawyer for ex-DOJ official Jeffrey Clark argued for access to communications between prosecutors and the White House related to his Georgia election interference case.
An attorney for ex-DOJ official Jeffrey Clark made his case for access to communications between Fulton County prosecutors and the White House counsel's office on Thursday, claiming that the Georgia election interference case against his client was brought with "political purpose."
Harry MacDougald, Clark's lawyer, said he needed access to those communications because, he alleged, the Biden White House "has its fingerprints on all four criminal prosecutions of President Trump," and Clark needs the documents to build a case for dismissal on the grounds of selective prosecution.
Clark is accused by the DA of making false statements to senior Justice Department officials in December 2020, urging them to tell Georgia officials that the DOJ had "significant concerns" about the 2020 election results in the state.
Clark, who waved his appearance, was not present in court Thursday.
