Federal agents on Wednesday searched the home of former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, who worked closely with former President Donald Trump to challenge the results of the 2020 election, ABC News reports Thursday.
Clark's current employer confirmed the search, writing in a message that agents led the ex-official out of his house in the early morning and "took his electronic devices." Clark was still in his pajamas, the employer added, per The Washington Post.
