Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Files Articles of Impeachment Against Attorney General Merrick Garland
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Friday that she filed articles of impeachment against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, who said that he personally approved the FBI’s search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
Greene’s resolution states that Garland’s personal approval to seek the warrant to search Trump’s Palm Beach estate “constitutes a blatant attempt to persecute a political opponent” of President Joe Biden.
“Attorney General Garland has failed to uphold his oath and has instead overseen a denigration of the principles of our democratic republic by politicizing the Department of Justice, and utilizing the Federal Bureau of Investigations as a Federal police force to punish or intimidate anyone who questions or opposes the current regime,” the resolution reads.
The articles of impeachment state that the attorney general “has taken measures to silence the voice of millions of citizens of the United States by persecuting the former duly elected President of the United States, and potential Presidential candidate, Donald J. Trump.”
