TheJeffrey Clark letter was a draft letter^[1] that falsely claimed theDepartment of Justice had been investigating "various irregularities in the2020 election."

Joe Biden won theelection on November 3, 2020. On December 28,Jeffrey Clark proposed to acting attorney generalJeffrey Rosen and his deputyRichard Donoghue that the letter be sent toGeorgia lawmakers, with modified versions to be prepared for "contested states":Arizona,Michigan,Nevada,New Mexico,Pennsylvania, andWisconsin.^[2][3] It called on these states to holdspecial legislative sessions; their goal was to secure alternate slates ofelectors who would cast votes forDonald Trump tooverturn Biden's victory. Rosen and Donoghue rejected the proposal and no such letter was sent.

The letter originated withKen Klukowski, a senior legal analyst for far-rightBreitbart News. Klukowski had co-authored the 2010 bookThe Blueprint: Obama’s Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency. Klukowski emailed the letter to Clark, and 20 minutes later, Clark emailed it to Rosen and Donoghue.^[4]
