According to new body cam footage obtained and reported on by CNN, Trump’s Justice Department attorney Jeffery Clark — who, according to reports, Trump wanted to appoint as attorney general during his final, desperate days in office — was caught with his pants down when FBI agents raided his home last month.
Well, I should say his pants were down. He just didn’t have any pants… At all.
CNN managed to obtain body cam footage from the FBI officials who raided Clark’s home last month and the video featured the former Trump DOJ attorney himself as authorities were inside searching his home in connection to a warrant.
At the beginning of the video, one female officer introduces herself to Clark and asks that he step outside the house, informing the former DOJ attorney that FBI officials had a warrant to search his home.
Clark asks the officer, “Can I call my lawyer?”

“Let’s step outside,” the officer answers, while another law enforcement official adds, “Just real quick, we’ve got to clear the house, make sure you’re safe.”
Clark asks the officers, “Can I put pants on first?”
The FBI officials explained to Clark that they needed to enter his home immediately, prompting the Trump DOJ lawyer to ask if he could step inside his garage.
“Stand behind the cars and no one will see you,” one of the FBI officials responded.
Erin Burnett, reporting for CNN, said FBI officials ultimately seized electronics from Clark’s home and also used a dog that specializes in sniffing out hidden electronic devices.
“Sources tell CNN that the raid was part of the justice department’s sweeping investigation into Trump’s attempted to overturn the 2020 election,” Burnett said.
The raid on Clark’s home took place on June 23rd.
A report on the raid from the Washington Post reads:
Federal agents conducted a search Wednesday at the home of former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, who played a key role in President Donald Trump’s efforts to get law enforcement officials to challenge Joe Biden’s election victory.
The search was confirmed by Clark’s current employer, who said in a written message that agents led a pajama-clad Clark out of his house in suburban Virginia in the early morning and ‘took his electronic devices.'”
Clark later went on to make an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s Fox segment, where he let loose over the raid.
“I just think we’re living in an era that I don’t recognize and increasingly, Tucker, I don’t recognize the country anymore with these Stasi-like things happening,” the former Trump Justice Department lawyer fumed.
Clark was a diligently loyal ally of Trump’s as he clung tight to the ex-president’s Big Lie regarding the 2020 presidential election and was even reportedly heavily involved in efforts to secure a slate of “alternate electors” to help Donald Trump overthrow Joe Biden’s win.
