Attorney General Merrick Garland appeared before the House Judiciary Committee headed by Ohio's Jim Jordan
“And you wonder why four out of five Americans believe there are now two standards of justice in our great country?” the Champaign County Republican asked rhetorically.
He said that when the U.S. Senate confirmed him as Attorney General, he promised to retain the Trump-appointed Delaware U.S. Attorney, David Weiss, to continue a Hunter Biden probe initiated under Trump, and would not interfere with his investigation. “I understand that people may not understand why particular investigations are conducted in particular ways until all the facts come out,” said Garland. “That’s what we have a court for.”
California Democrat Adam Schiff said Jordan is abusing the committee’s power by turning into “kind of a criminal defense firm for the former president,” and establishing the “principle that the rule of law should apply to almost everyone, just not the leader of his party.”
