WH Staffer Confirms Jan. 6 Committee Lied About DOJ Attorney

'This isn't about truth, but about making it impossible for conservatives to successfully enter and leave government.'

  • Jeff Clark, a former assistant attorney general in the Department of Justice, proposed sending a letter to the Georgia legislature suggesting the legislature convene a special session to "evaluate the irregularities in the 2020 election including violations of Georgia election law," and "determine whether those violations show which candidate for President won the most legal votes in the November 3 election."
  • The draft letter suggested the General Assembly could appoint an alternative set of electors based on its findings.
  • But when Clark pitched the idea of sending the letter to Georgia officials, Rosen and Donoghue rejected the idea out of hand because it was "not the department's role to suggest or dictate to state legislatures how they should select their electors."

The Jan.6 Committee Is Lying

  • Klukowski called out the Jan. 6 Committee's fraud over the weekend in a public statement that began: "The January 6 Committee falsely accused me on Thursday of being a go-between in a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. That accusation is false both in its broad outlines and its details."
  • Since the Committee first contacted him, Klukowski has cooperated without hesitation, provided it with hundreds of documents, and sat for many hours of recorded depositions.
  • The information produced from those efforts fully contradicts the Committee's statements regarding my actions, yet the Committee has chosen to keep such information to itself rather than share it with the public."

Evidence Backs Up Klukowski’s Statements

  • Even before he met with Delaplane he sat down in July with the White House staffer responsible for coordinating senior DOJ appointments, Andrew Kloster.
  • Klukowski shared with Kloster his desire to move to the DOJ civil division, and Kloster confirmed these details to The Federalist.

Public Record Confirms Klukowski’s Account

  • Klukowski sought litigation experience in the civil division and won two federal appeals unrelated to election issues.
  • He denied working with Eastman to convince Vice President Mike Pence that Pence had the power to reject electors from various states based on "ongoing disputes" over the election.

A Mountain of Lies

  • Klukowski also took issue with the committee's portrayal of him as an author of the letter, when in fact his role as Clark's "subordinate was to commit his dictations and outline to writing and fill in legal citations at the direction of my then-boss over the course of a single day."
  • "I was concerned the committee might make cynical assumptions during its investigation of January 6," Klukowski told The Federalist, "but, I was stunned that the committee would make claims about me for which it had a mountain of evidence establishing, for certain, those statements were false."
