Jeff Clark Discusses His Role Amid Ongoing Legal Challenges
Former Assistant Attorney General Jeff Clark, recently indicted in Fulton County as part of District Attorney Fani Willis’ controversial case against Trump electors in Georgia, offered insights to on Thursday regarding his current responsibilities within the Trump Administration and the persistent criminal investigation concerning the alleged fraudulent 2020 election.
Clark is currently serving as the Acting Administrator of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), specifically overseeing the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA).
In February, President Trump signed Executive Order 14215, which is aimed at ensuring accountability throughout various federal agencies by directing OIRA, under Clark’s purview, to scrutinize “all proposed and final significant regulatory actions.”
Clark elaborated on the implications of this directive for a bureaucratic system that he argues has historically undermined presidential authority. “We’re striking back,” he asserted, referring to the myriad federal agencies that have been established to function independently from presidential oversight. “The legitimacy of the presidency derives from the people’s election via the Electoral College, not from committees attempting to insulate themselves from the President,” he added.
In a recent statement to the press, President Trump remarked, “I was the hunted, and now, I’m the hunter.” This metaphor encapsulates the shifting dynamics within the political landscape.
Clark also touched on the ongoing legal strife instigated by Fani Willis, who, despite being disqualified from the case against Trump and others challenging the 2020 election results, is actively appealing her disqualification in the Georgia Supreme Court. “As I stand here, that case is still alive,” he noted, indicating the persistent legal entanglements surrounding the matter.
This development coincides with the unveiling of FBI documents detailing serious allegations of foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. election, particularly implicating the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). According to officials privy to the findings, these documents suggest that China engaged in the production of counterfeit driver’s licenses and fraudulent identities to inundate the election system with mail-in ballots—a situation exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly expanded mail-in voting across the United States.

Clark remarked on his ongoing monitoring of the situation regarding the alleged mass production of fake Chinese licenses and ballots, suggesting that further revelations are forthcoming.
Conradson: Can you provide any updates on that case? We recently saw the bombshell FBI memo regarding foreign interference in the 2020 election.
Clark: My immediate reaction to that question is, don’t remind me. The case in Georgia is technically still active, though it’s essentially on hold since Fani Willis was disqualified from participating by the Georgia intermediate appellate court months ago. Yet, she has filed a Cert Petition with the Georgia Supreme Court, seeking to overturn her disqualification. Thus, that case remains alive, and all indicted individuals—including President Trump, Mark Meadows, John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, and myself—are still involved.
Conradson: Regarding your new role at OMB, you mentioned working on a significant bill in Congress. Can you elaborate on its importance?
Clark: This is critically important. We cannot allow what would essentially be the largest tax increase to occur on President Trump’s watch. We are diligently working to ensure that this bill passes. The OMB has three primary functions—management, budget, and regulation. My focus is on the regulatory side as the head of OIRA, which now includes oversight of independent agencies as mandated by a recent executive order from the President. We’re pushing back against a historical trend of agencies that operate independently of presidential authority, a structure I believe to be unconstitutional. This executive order aims to reestablish oversight, requiring all regulations to be reviewed by OIRA.
Conradson: So, this initiative is designed to rein in bureaucracy and curb rogue bureaucratic actions?
Clark: Exactly. The founders of the administrative state, particularly within the Democratic Party, sought a governance model reliant on experts, but we must remember that this isn’t the framework envisioned by the framers of our Constitution. The legitimacy of the presidency stems from the people’s election through the Electoral College, not from insulated, multi-member bodies. Our objective is to maintain presidential accountability and authority.
I’m also closely following the newly released information from the FBI regarding China’s alleged mass production of ballots, as well as instances of ballots being intercepted—this is a crucial development that all your viewers should keep an eye on.
