That as a conjunction
The fact (that) he’s older than me is not relevant.

The above example is given for "that" as a conjunction.
Is it a clause " the fact"? I thought you need a subject and verb to form a clause.
Second clause: subject- he is older than me, verb- is
I am just confused about the first clause
Thanks
