The second and final week of the disbarment trial of Donald Trump’s former DOJ official, Jeffrey Clark, began to wind down on Wednesday with more testimony from operations security expert Harry Haury. Clark, who is also a defendant in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ RICO prosecution, is being disciplined for drafting a letter that was never sent to Georgia officials after the 2020 election advising them of their options for dealing with the election illegalities.
The trial is expected to wrap up on Thursday with closing statements.
Clark’s attorney, Harry MacDougald, asked Haury about risk-limiting audits, which election officials tout as evidence that elections were secure. Haury said those audits “look at whether the counts and registration of precinct tickets and ballots seem to be accurate.” However, Haury said “they don’t look at it holistically.”
He added that they only cover an “extremely small portion of what’s required to determine whether or not a system is secure in a particular use context.”
“A normal FISMA review requires review of the source code,” Haury said. “To the best of my understanding, it’s been haphazard.”
The cyber security expert continued, “It’s like buying a car without being able to look under the hood.”
