Ex-Justice Official Threatened With Contempt Faces Jan. 6 Panel
Former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, who faced the threat of being held in contempt of Congress, appeared Wednesday for closed-door questioning before a House panel investigating last year’s attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The panel wanted to question Clark about whether he pressured colleagues at the Department of Justice to aid in former President Donald Trump’s failed attempts to undo his defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Neither Clark nor the committee made any statements after the session.
The panel’s seven Democrats and two Republicans unanimously voted in December to advance a criminal contempt of Congress resolution against Clark.
That followed Clark’s Nov. 5 appearance before the panel, during which “he wouldn’t answer questions, he bickered with our members and counsel, and then he got up and left,” committee chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, said at the time.

Does not say if he acted like a child again, took the 5th or talked but he sure wanted to avoid contempt charges. I expect we'll hear in a day or two.
