Onetime U.S. Department of Justice attorney and Donald Trump ally Jeffrey Clark was denied a request to delay proceedings in his Georgia racketeering (RICO) and election subversion case earlier this week.

In a terse, one-sentence-long order dated Jan. 26, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee denied Clark’s heavily redacted motion for an extension to file pretrial motions past the current deadline of Feb. 5.

“Having reviewed the unredacted version of Defendant Clark’s Motion for Further Extension of Motion Deadline, a redacted version of which was filed January 22, 2024,” the judge wrote, “the motion is denied.”
