WASHINGTON – Former Republican Solicitor General Paul Clement has been hired by the House Republican leadership as counsel to defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in court.

Clement served under President George W. Bush as the government’s lawyer before the Supreme Court and currently works as a partner at the firm King & Spaulding.
