CNN on Thursday broadcast bodycam footage from the Fairfax County Police Department of its early-morning search warrant execution at Jeffrey Clark’s home.
CNN’s Hannah Rabinowitz obtained the video, which shows the Trump DOJ official in his underwear and a dress shirt.
A female officer then informs Clark she is with the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General.
“Can you step outside with me, we have a search warrant and we need to speak to you,” she said. “So can I get you to step outside for me?”
“Let’s go, let’s step outside,” she repeated.
“Can I put my pants on first?” he asked.
“They are going to clear the house,” he was told.
