The letter falsely claimed the Department of Justice "identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election in the United States, including the State of Georgia," and called on the state Legislature to reconvene a special session. It contained numerous other false claims.
At the time, Clark sent the letter to top-ranking Justice Department officials Jeffrey Rosen and Richard Donoghue for their signatures. Rosen and Donoghue refused to authorize the letter, saying it contained falsehoods.
