At a hearing Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Merrick Garland told lawmakers he"will not be intimidated" by allegations that the Justice Department is acting politically.
“I will not be intimidated,” Garland said. “And the Justice Department will not be intimidated. We will continue to do our jobs free from political influence. And we will not back down from defending our democracy.” In a separate state case, headed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records for attempting to disguise payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels. That case has no relation to the pending federal cases, and the Justice Department was not involved.
