A panel in Washington has recommended that Jeffrey Clark, one of former President Donald Trump’s officials in the Justice Department, face a two-year suspension from practicing law because of his role in the administration’s response to the 2020 presidential election.

In an Aug. 1 report, a three-member panel of the District of Columbia Bar’s Board on Professional Responsibility said that Mr. Clark “attempted dishonesty and did so with truly extraordinary recklessness.”
