Clarke has been mentioned as a potential Trump appointee to head the Department of Homeland Security.
"The sheriff has nothing to say," Clarke's spokeswoman, Fran McLaughlin, said Friday when asked to confirm Monday's meeting.
The publication added that in an interview with conservative radio host Joe Pags, Mr. Clarke does not expect anything from this meeting since he doesn’t have an entitlement mentality; he was a staunch Trump supporter during the 2016 campaign.
