Attorney General Testifies on Justice Dept. Oversight
Attorney General Merrick Garland testified on oversight of the Justice
Department before the House Judiciary Committee. Several Republican
members grilled Attorney General Garland on whether or not he has
interfered in U.S. Attorney David Weiss' investigation into President
Biden's son, Hunter Biden. Mr. Garland repeatedly rejected these
accusations and said, "I am not the president's lawyer." The attorney
general also emphasized he has continued to support Attorney Weiss --
who was originally appointed by former President Trump -- including
appointing him as special counsel upon Mr. Weiss' request. Several
Democratic members criticized Republicans' handling of the hearing and,
along with Republican Rep. Ken Buck (CO), defended Mr. Garland's
record. Other topics included the fentanyl crisis, gun violence, and
other allegations pertaining to the Biden family.
