Former U.S. Department of Justice attorney Jeffrey Clark lost a bid to delay attorney disciplinary hearings over his efforts to help Donald Trump overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, an appellate court in Washington, D.C., ruled Tuesday morning.

The D.C. Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel filed ethics charges against Clark in July 2022. Those proceedings have been paused for several months as the result of various appeals. Clark motioned to have the case against him removed to a federal court in October 2022. A federal judge denied that request in June 2023 in an opinion finding federal courts have no jurisdiction over attorney licensing disputes.

In November 2023, the board overseeing the professional misconduct case rescheduled the proceedings to begin in January. Clark was able to pause that order once again, by filing a motion to stay with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in December 2023. A three-judge panel, however, made up of two Trump-appointed judges (Neomi Rao and Gregory Katsas) and one Joe Biden-appointed judge (Brad Garcia) declined to further delay the long-running ethics case.
