Attorney General Merrick Garland is forcefully rebuking what he describes as “unprecedented” attacks on the Justice Department
Attorney General Merrick Garland will forcefully rebuke what he described as “unprecedented” attacks on the Justice Department Tuesday, telling Republicans who have sought to hold him in contempt that he will “not be intimidated.” During a hearing before the the House Judiciary Committee, Garland was expected to condemn “baseless and extremely dangerous falsehoods” being peddled about the FBI and criticize threats to defund the special counsel prosecutions of former President Donald Trump.
A transcript of Biden's interview has been released, but the president asserted executive privilege over the audio last month to block its release. The White House has said lawmakers only want the audio so they can chop it up and use it for political purposes. The Justice Department has argued witnesses might be less likely to cooperate if they know their interviews might become public.
