Summary
On December 28, 2020, Jeffrey Clark sent a five-page draft letter to Department of Justice leaders for their signature. If signed and sent, the letter may have provoked a constitutional crisis. The letter was a recommendation to Georgia state leaders to hold a special session in light of "significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election." It also supported the notion of competing slates of electors in other contested states.
