WATCH LIVE: Merrick Garland rejects accusations of weaponized DOJ
Attorney General Merrick Garland is countering accusations that the Department of Justice has been politicized.
Garland will speak at 11:30 a.m. EST.
Republicans, and particularly former President Donald Trump, have leveled accusations of politicization against Garland and the DOJ for most of President Joe Biden‘s term, largely over the crackdown on rioters and demonstrators at the Jan. 6 Capitol riots and the indictments against Trump.
The unprecedented indictments of Trump have shaken Republicans’ faith in the justice system and led to a back-and-forth over its fairness with Garland. The attorney general has characterized the criticisms as attacks against public servants.
“These attacks have come in the form of conspiracy theories, dangerous falsehoods, efforts to bully and intimidate career public servants by repeatedly and publicly singling them out, and threats of actual violence,” Garland will say, according to NBC News. “It is dangerous and outrageous that you have to endure them.”
