They are not only irresponsible, they are illegal. A close examination of the document released publicly yesterday by a very biased individual raises serious questions over whether it is what he claims it to be. It is dangerously misleading to make any conclusions or inferences based on this document,&#8221; Clark said. &#8220;The DOJ investigation covered a period which was a time of turmoil and addiction for my client.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Clark also said that &#8220;Any verifiable words or actions of my client in the midst of a horrible addiction are solely his own and have no connection to anyone in his family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;An extensive, five-year long investigation conducted by the United States <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/justice-department\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Department of Justice<\/a> (DOJ) concluded this week, which\u00a0resulted in my client taking responsibility for\u00a0two instances of misdemeanor failure to file tax payments,\u00a0as well as a firearm charge, which\u00a0will be subject to a pretrial diversion agreement. As his attorney through this entire matter, I can say that any suggestion the investigation was not thorough, or cut corners, or cut my client any slack, is preposterous and deeply irresponsible,&#8221;
