BREAKING: Attorney Jeff Clark Announces His Resignation as Acting Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA)

by

America First attorney Jeffrey Clark has announced his resignation as Acting Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). 

Breanna Morello reports:

Highly respected attorney Jeffrey Clark has submitted his resignation from the Trump administration, where he served as Acting Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), a key regulatory oversight office within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

In an exclusive letter addressed to OMB Director Russell Vought, Clark announced his decision to step back into private life. He emphasized, however, that he remains committed to the broader conservative fight and will not abandon the mission.

Clark, a longtime Trump ally and former Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division at the Department of Justice during Trump’s first term, assumed the acting OIRA role in March 2025. His tenure focused on advancing the administration’s aggressive deregulatory priorities, including streamlining reviews of rules and implementing executive orders aimed at reducing federal regulations.

Clark has faced significant scrutiny for his loyalty to Trump, particularly related to events following the 2020 election. He endured intense attacks during the Biden regime and faced disciplinary recommendations from the D.C. Bar, including calls for disbarment over his alleged role in efforts to challenge election results—matters he and supporters have dismissed as politically motivated.

Clark’s exit is a significant blow to the current administration, highlighting his reputation as a principled defender of the U.S. Constitution and President Trump. Clark’s letter underscores a voluntary transition to private practice.

The White House has not yet commented publicly on the resignation or named a replacement for the OIRA leadership role. Clark’s move follows his earlier public statements expressing gratitude for the opportunity to serve in the administration’s deregulatory efforts.

Here is Clark’s resignation letter:

Clark was one of a small group of attorneys who worked to undo the 2020 stolen election for President Trump.  As a result, he was indicted alongside President Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Christina Bobb, and others, by Fulton County Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis on charges that have since been discarded.

All the best to the great Jeffrey Clark.

  2. The Department name is absurd, Something out of a Monty Python skit.
    Don't need an education about what I said. The article clearly explains the function of the bureau within the bureau and how critically important this guy we've hardly ever heard of was.

  5. Well since he didn't say he has a terminal disease, he must have some sex scandal about to be exposed.

    • His wifes best friend is the neighbor of the mother in law of George Conway of the Lincoln project or something like that and they don't want to move because they'd lose the equity in their townhome they paid $250k for which is now appraised at $730,000 because of the Biden Administration and USAID fraud, waste and abuse.

  6. Well since he didn't say he has a terminal disease, he must have some sex scandal about to be exposed.

  7. We’ve been in devolution articles of war government since the stolen election of 2020. Doesn’t matter who playing the role.

  8. Like Dan Bongino, he just saw a way he can help MORE!
    No problem with that.
    We wait patiently for govt to fix stuff. We were deeply stupid because we knew govt lazybodies run 96% lazy dem, as though one would not suspect that at the start…
    Once you stand on line for a govt job for ten years, you are a lazy schmuck. That is EVERYONE in govt. Or 96% of them. I knew schoolteachers who waited 15 years for a job. Now they worked 10 years and retired on a nestegg of millions, paid for by their neighbors who had been taxed out of their homes into trailers so they could live the good life.
    All this has been obvious since at least 1970.
    You have been comprehensively led to since 1980 by the so-called NEWS and ACADEMIA, and GOVT. Even Reagan did not really help. He thought paying govt workers more would make them better. Instead, it made every loafer work harder to get on the gravy train. This meant people of poor moral fiber became even more determined to rape us. USAID was supercharged by Ronnie.
    Trump has a real plan to fix all this. To put us back to where we were when Teddy Roosevelt stopped it in 1912. The they put Wilson, a stupid college professor, in place, and they destroyed our govt for good. It has taken all this time to complete it, but it was all set in train in 1913.

    • Bongino made his career screaming on his podcast about the importance of destroying the deep state and holding criminals accountable. He then became #2 at the FBI, but you’re telling me that by going BACK to a podcast that he’ll be more effective (“help MORE”)? Bahahahahaha….

      • He was Secret Service, not FBI.
        Two totally different things. They only brought him in to handle PR.
        That’s what he’s still doing.

        • I understand he was SS. I was not referring to that. I said the man made his fortune and name railing against the deep state on his podcast. He then went on to be the #2 at the FBI and did absolutely nothing to dismantle the deep state and hold criminals in our government accountable. Now he’s back at his podcast railing against the people he did nothing about and we’re supposed to believe he’s going to be more effective. What a joke.

  10. Jeffrey Clark ran up to the full limit set by the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (which expired in mid-November), plus an appropriate transition period, and now must resign

  11. OIRA is critical

    This was DOGE before DOGE

    But only the GOP follows the Administrative Procedures Act

  14. He made some very good points about his term in office and what they were able to do.
    He sure will be missed

  15. Thank you for your service and commitment to the United States. You will probably be more valuable out in the private sector.

  17. War is Peace
    Freedom is Slavery
    Ignorance is Strength
    Israel First is America First

    “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

    • Please look at the big picture of the world. Israel has its own interests but they are their interests are closer to ours than the other Middle East countries. Otherwise the Arab, petro-rich countries would dictate terms to the rest of the world.

  18. All des people who quit are scum for not doin a 4 year term but quitin as soon as THEY can make moe Dollaros while Patriots DIE for their country!

  20. I barely keep up with Tucker, but from what I’ve seen, he’s right on many things. Unlike you, I don’t need the mainstream media, or sites like GWP to know how to think. But nice try.

  23. Wonder if his resignation has to do with his name showing up on the Epstein files? Asking for a friend.

          • you forgot the 388467839399 million blm in there too i saw all of them forcing those poor souls do all that stuff…huh cultist all forced to do all that stuff guns to their head forcing them to shit and wipe it on the walls huh cultist ……………………. but hey that was a good shot on babbit huh cultist

  26. Is Iran really the only place evil criminals need to be punished?

    19+ Billion dollars in FRAUD! And that's just the beginning because I haven't included KKalifornia and Jew York!

      • I think three's plenty of time but sadly little will to contend with the problems that will persist beyond Trump. Clearly Mr. Clark is too savvy to be caged by do nothing so called "justice".

    • Careful making comments like that, here on Neo-Con Central Forum!
      Where bots, Israeli shills and deranged Trump loyalists congregate en masse.

      • Loyalty to our President is reasonable for most of us conservatives, since we know nobody else could have accomplished what he has in such a short time. Perhaps you would prefer Kamala? Either way, there is no need to insult us. I might think that you are the deranged one, but I won't tell you so…and I won't call you a bot or a shill. You are entitled to your opinion and I won't insult you for it. Even if I think you are wrong.

        • Deranged Trump loyalists… are those who put Trump above all criticism. Who refuse to hold him accountable to his promises. Who turn a blind eye to has abundant contradictions and hypocrisies. Who make him MAGA, rather than American(s) First! Who can't tell the obvious fact that he has been compromised and is under foreign government control… Those people are everywhere on here and they ABSOLUTLEY DISGUST me!
          Anyone gong along with Trump's abhorrent military action (and abject treachery to his promises) at the behest of that evil clown in Israel, is a shill… directly or indirectly. They are also ubiquitous.

          If you believe you fall under that umbrella, then yes, I think you're deranged. If you don't, you shouldn't be offended.

          • The straw man you're ranting about is nowhere to be found. You're the one making arrogant assumptions that you claim to be "obvious" and yet are clearly frustrated that your arguments aren't able to persuade anyone. Have you ever considered that might be because your arguments are retarded?

            For example, the crucial point: that you claim that the reason Trump is killing a demonic evil pedo cult leader (oh nooo, what a shame!) is because Israel wanted him to, and yet where have you proven that claim at all?

            The only argument seems to be: "Israel wants this, therefore it must be bad! But it's totally not because I hate Israel though! I refuse to tell you the reason, but it's definitely not that, trust me bro!"

            But of course, since most of us aren't retarded, we can clearly see that "Always do the opposite of whatever Israel wants" doesn't really make much sense as a coherent foreign policy.

            Most people can plainly see that taking out this evil regime that literally has been at self-declared war with us (calling America "The Big Satan" and chanting "Death to America") since 1979 is obviously in our best interest, and in the interest of the greater good as well (which is something actual Christians care about because unlike you we actually want to fight against evil and do good in the world).

            So if something is in our interest, and it also happens to be in the interest of another country as well, then why would that be a bad thing? That's literally a win-win scenario. And in this case, it's not only in the interest of the US, Israel, and the Iranian people, but also of many other countries both in the Middle East and the rest of the world. In fact, nobody actually liked Khomeini, they just feared him and needed access to Iran's resources which is why they were forced to tolerate him. But it's not like any country actually was happy about an insane evil doom priest ruling over a murderous Satanic rapist pedo regime with world conquest on the mind. Not even the other Muslim countries were a fan.

            But it's clear you don't know much about the subject, nor are you even interested in knowing. You just want to hate everything that Israel says or does or wants because that way the world seems so much simpler for your simple mind. If Israel cured cancer tomorrow, you'd probably find some reason to convince yourself that cancer is actually a good thing and go out of your way to find a way to give yourself cancer just to show the Jews who's boss.

          • I find your diatribe contradictive and wholly retarded on it's face.
            That's the extent of the rebuttal you are worthy of.

          • Incredible argument, truly persuasive indeed. I'm sure your side will start winning elections any day now at this rate. Might I suggest in the future you try the Left's version of your deflection: "IT'S NOT MY JOB TO EDUCATE YOU!!!" (insert incoherent screeching).

            After all, demanding that people agree with them and insulting anyone who refuses to has clearly worked out so well for them, so I'm sure such a brilliant strategy will work out great for you too.

          • Doncha' know you don't argue with a donkey that's sitting on the highway about to struck by a semi? Just nod your head and step out of the way of the splatter.

          • Agreed, they're working on bombs, long range bombs that will obliterate The Big Satan right after they obliterate The Small Satan. And they will do it – they don't think like we do.

          • No offense taken. I think I understand your frustration. I never support anyone unless I believe they are doing right. Nobody is above criticism if they do wrong. I don't blindly follow anyone. That is true of many of us MAGA folks, and yet we get criticized for supporting our President when we believe he is doing a good thing. We can disagree about whether the Iran strikes are a good thing. Your feelings have been made clear about that. You think it is a mistake to strike Iran, and I disagree. I don't think that makes me deranged. Nor you. Time will tell if it was the right move. Neither one of us has a crystal ball. But as for our President being faithful to his promises, one of those promises was to do what he thinks is best for America, putting America first. We conservatives trust him to do that, and I have not been disappointed. This Iranian operation, as distasteful as it is to you and many others, is, in our President's opinion and mine, the wise move for America to make right now. For our sakes. Not Israel's, though they certainly are going to benefit from it. Trump cannot be bought or bribed or extorted. He is his own man and shown repeatedly that he will not be anybody's puppet. But I know you don't believe that. I say let the man lead and help him defeat the enemies of America, both foreign and domestic. Kamala would not be much help in that regard, had she won the last election.

          • To HeadOnStraight, PlutoTVfan, Logos, Cornyn…VotePaxton and squeekywheel3, I say: Thank You.
            To dc, cmcstar, ChristSupremacist, and wafflebat22, I say: Eff U!

          • She'd be following Obama's lead and shipping them pallets of cash so they could make strides in their nuclear program.

          • I’m sorry you are disgusted. I work very hard to understand those that think our President should not be supported at a time when he needs all the support he can get from those who understand who our real enemies are. In 1917 in Russia, the Orthodox church was meeting to discuss and debate the size of the candles they were using in their services. Meanwhile, out in the streets, at the very same time, the Bolshevik revolution was taking place which brought the communists to power and destroyed the church. Many of us are just as clueless about what is taking place in our nation. In my humble opinion, the real threat to America is not our President. The Democrats/Socialists/Marxists/Communists/Islamists have all banded together to attempt to destroy our Constitutional Republic and they are making progress. They are the real threat. America is on the verge of unraveling and breaking apart, whether via civil war or national divorce. Why turn your wrath upon our President when he is faithfully fighting those forces I mentioned? Would you rather have a socialist America than a President Trump? Help me understand.

        • I know a few here are Comment agitators and want us to waste time because they enjoy interjecting frustration in our midst.

    • COMMIEFORNIA'S BEEN GRIFTING THE FED GOV'T FOR AT LEAST THE LAST 40 YEARS THE LAST 20 THEY'VE BEEN POUNDING THE FED GOV'T MONEY STREAMS.

      THEY CATER TO THE ILLEGALS HERE LIKE YOU CANNOT BELIEVE, SNAP, COMMUNITY ACTION PARTNERSHIP, EVERY BIT OF FED MONEY HAS BEEN CAPTURED AND REDIRECTED TO THE CARE FEEDING HOUSING EDUCATION AND MEDICAL NEEDS OF THE ILLEGAL ALIEN POPULATION FOR THEIR VOTES !!!

        • WHEN’S THE LAST TIME YOU DROVE OVER NEW ASPHALT … ANYWHERE … SEEN A FIRE BREAK ANYWHERE A FIRE HAS NOT BEEN IN COMMIEFORNIA ??? HELL NO WE ONLY MAKE THEM DURING OR AFTER FIRES NOW AND FUEL REMOVAL…

          WHAT THE HELL DOES THE COMMIEFORNIA CONSERVATION CORE DO ANYMORE ???

          DO ANY OF THEM KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FIRE MITIGATION OR FUEL MAINTENANCE !!!

    • Ask Bibi. The Trump admin only does what Bibi allows him to do.

      We voted MAGA and American First but got MIGA and Israel first.

      • IMO Iran had it coming for a long time so I'll not regret Trump taking out the Ayatollahs. However, pulling those obvious slivers out of our brother's eye while ignoring the LOGS in our own is disgusting and offensive.

        • You don't get it, everything he's done has been laying the foundation(our foundation) for a complete global reset. He is a builder, and he knows how important a solid foundation is BEFORE you build. This IS America first. You'll see it before he's finished.

        • Unbelievable. This is supposed to be a government of ‘WE THE PEOPLE.’ We have a first amendment right. But I’m sure you’ve never spoken critically about any politician/past president.

      • Preventing Iran from hitting us with nuclear weapons is about as MAGA as it gets. Iran has been killing Americans since it took our Embassy staff hostage in 1979.

        • Using Iran is a false flag. We all know Mossad is behind the majority of terrorist actions. Do the research.

          • "Using Iran is a false flag. We all know Mossad is behind the majority of terrorist actions. Do the research."

            Yes, yes, of course .. . . the research.

            And you're so right. It's always been about . . . . them.

            We all know about it.

            After all, there was the Galveston Flood of 1900.

            And the Black Death of 1348.

            And the White Plague of 1650.

            And the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004.

            And 9/11.

            And swine flu.

            And Spanish Flu.

            And Spanish Fly.

            Every one of 'em a project of . . . . you-know-whom.

            And who do you think was responsible for converting Corona from a Mexican beer to a Chinese virus?

            Yep, you got it. It was. . . .them.

            And who do you think was behind Hurricane Michael?

            And Irma?

            And Andrew?

            And Maria?

            And Katrina?

            And Flopsy?

            And Mopsy?

            And Cottontail?

            And Wynken?

            And Blynken?

            And Nod?

            Not to mention, Larry?

            And Curly?

            And Moe?

            — yup, you guessed it.

            (Sneaky old buggers, don'tcha know.)

            They caused both World Wars.

            And the BP oil spill.

            And the eruption of Kilauea.

            And Vesuvius, Krakatoa, Nevado del Ruiz, and Mt St Helens.

            Not to mention HIV.

            And the Chernobyl disaster.

            It was THEY who sank the Titanic.

            And the Maine.

            And the Lusitania.

            And the Bismarck.

            And the H.M.S. Pinafore.

            Not to mention, the Good Ship Lollipop.

            See how fiendishly clever it all was?

            Why, THEY were responsible for the Great Depression.

            And piped-in elevator music.

            And rush-hour traffic.

            And middle-aged spread.

            And the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906.

            And the Aleppo quake of 1138.

            And erectile dysfunction.

            And the Edsel.

            THEY caused the Yangtze River Flood of '31.

            And Cyclone Nargis of '08.

            And the Afghan Blizzard.

            And acid rain.

            And cheap bourbon.

            And the Camp Creek Fire of Paradise.

            And the Woolsey Fire of Simi Valley & Malibu.

            And the Great Fire of London of 1666.

            And the Great Fire of Rome of AD 64. (That was Tevye on the fiddle, not Nero.)

            And then there was the Chicago Fire of 1871. (Old Mother Catherine O'Leary, whose cow kicked over that lantern, was… [sh!]… really one of them. Or at least the cow was one of theirs.)

            Who d'you suppose caused the Dust Bowl of the Dirty Thirties? (think about it.)

            And what do you think is the real cause of PMS (isn't it obvious)?

            And guess who was responsible for the Pinto?

            And athlete's foot? (see how it all fits together?)

            Then there was the Hindenburg explosion.

            And the Antioch quake of AD 526.

            And the Haiti quake of 2010.

            And the Tangshan quake of '76.

            And the Horn-of-Africa drought of 2011.

            Not to mention, herpes — the gift that keeps on giving. (see the connection?)

            And the North Korean Famine of '94-98.

            And don't forget the automatic transmission.

            And jock itch.

            THEY caused the Tōhoku quake-&-tsunami and the Fukushima meltdown.

            And The New Math.

            And halitosis.

            And the dot com bubble.

            And the dot com bomb.

            And, and, and . . . .

          • I'm a little doubtful of the automatic transmission. I think that was a low iq Somalian woman

          • OMG…should I be digging a bomb shelter??? BTW…who are "Them"? I always thought it was "The Others".

        • I am 100% American first and voted for Trump because of the platform he ran on. He abandoned that platform. But just because I voice opposition to to this reality, I’m labeled a Democrat by you people. Don’t try to blame others when Trump’s actions cause the GOO to get curb stomped in the mids. We didn’t abandon America First; he did.

          I am done with the two party system. Different wings of the same bird. You only have the illusion of choice. I will vote for candidates that truly puts America first, and doesn't push the woke/ghey/globohomo agenda.

          But you should know all of this. You have followed my account for years and liked many comments I posted in support of Trump and the conservative movement.

          • Hundred percent retardedcist. What are you even talking about? Weren't you just going on and on, to ad nauseum and beyond… about how nothing is getting done?

            Like you were oblivious to the same news and current events we all see and comment on, until someone pointed out that everything getting done was simply impossible to miss. Especially for someone '… who voted for/supported Trump', cause when it comes to Trump getting schiff done, it's hard for any other news to get a word in, edgewise.

            So, here we go again… with another synchronous pivot of assigned Trump bashing narratives, again. From, big surprise… all the usual suspects, again. With the same goal of sowing as much doubt and division as possible before the mid-terms… dare I say… again.

        • What Part of the promise – No new wars – dont you get? The Liar-in-chief is OWNED by Bibi. That has nothing to do with "Kamala and Tim."

          MORON.

          • Someone pointed out that getting Venezuela and Iran under control helps get oil out of China's hands. Trump has been consistent since the 80's or 90's that China is a huge threat, is gaming the system, and has plans of domination. That might be part of this plant.

      • "The Trump admin only does what Bibi allows him to do."

        Predictably, you're delusional. Trump is amazingly strong — probably stronger than any president since Andrew Jackson — and absolutely nobody (including yourself, crank) tells him what to do.

        "We voted MAGA and American First"

        "America First" was never intended to betoken America 'Only.'

        Donald Trump hasn't ever pretended to be an isolationist. You simply became the unconscious prisoner of your own wishful thinking.

  28. No doubt he’d make more money in private sector plus Senate behind approving appointments in office. Blame Thune. We need a strong Republican election in midterms.

  33. SO we lost him because THUNE and his 5th column R's refuse to confirm DJT's nominees? Thune should be run out of town on McCrooked's wheelchair.

  35. Jeff Clark was an outstanding lawyer for Trump in his first term and he stood in the breech when the liberals in Trump's own administration in the first term were trying to destroy him.

    Trump should have named him as the Attorney General or FBI director. Jeff had wonderful loyalty to truth, and to our nation. and to Trump. He would have been much, much better that Pam Bondi or Kash Patel.

    Jeff Clark paid a dear price for his loyalty and the trouble the Democrats and liberal Republicans put him through after the end of Trump's first term. Trump himself didn't reward Jeff properly for fighting a fierce fight at the end of the first term that 99 percent of Republicans don't know about.

  36. I think Jeffrey Clark has more potential than the position of Acting Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) and he needs an opportunity to unleash his talents and ambitions and I have confidence that he will find his niche. Plus I did not know & this article did not state that this was only a temporary assignment because this lame ass congress will not approve all of the applicants waiting for approval in the Trump Administration – which is the same thing as denying what the American Voters decided by electing Trump. IMO

    • It's not just your opinion……..it's a fact and I agree with it totally.

      The Republicans are our real problem!

      I have grown to hate them…..almost a smuch as the demonrats…..but it's close and growing!

  37. "…the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA)"

    Another needless, expensive and useless bureaucracy that needs to be terminated.

  40. Seem to me there are a lot patriots who joined the Trump administration thinking things would change, thinking they could help usher in that change. Seems to me they are realizing the whole thing is a giant illegal racket. Everything. Seems to me there is no changing anything from the inside, by following the established rules. Seems to me the only fix it is to flush it all away and start new.

    • Hmmmm. Well, I've been saying for a long time……getting rid of the treasonous rats one by one, even if done through elections was going to take longer than we have…..and they have replacements just waiting to take up the positions of the ones we get rid of.

      We need something much more drastic! It's the system…….we must get rid of the system. They are able to just plug a new body into it……but if we remove it……we remove them!

      And….it's going to take the Military to do that!

      Something unprecedented is coming…….and it will bring some chaos and unrest with it. But it has to happen! The system must come down! And they will fight and gnash their teeth through the whole process…..and push their footsoldiers out there to fight the battles they themselves won't!
