So the Feds went in and raided Trump's handpicked DOJ official who conspired with Trump in order to pressure the DOJ into falsely declaring election fraud......
Federal law enforcement was at the Virginia home of Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Department official who is at the center of Thursday's Jan. 6 committee hearing.
A U.S. Attorney's office spokesman confirmed that the activity took place on Wednesday.
The spokesman had no comment regarding the reason for the activity.
News of the law enforcement activity came just over an hour before the House committee investigating Jan. 6 planned to hold a hearing looking at how then-President Donald Trump used the Justice Department to try to overturn the 2020 election results. Clark was central to that plot and created a backchannel directly to Trump, going over the heads of his DOJ superiors, the committee has contended.
Previous testimony has indicated that Clark strongly believed false claims that the election was stolen from Trump.
Trump considered appointing Clark as attorney general to help in his post-election fight, but several top Justice Department officials threatened to quit, leading Trump to ax that plan, according to previous testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
