Attorney General Merrick Garland criticized attacks against the Department of Justice and Jack Smith, citing Donald Trump's remarks.
Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday pushed back on attacks on Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Department of Justice .In an opinion column titled 'Unfounded attacks on the Justice Department must end' published by the Washington Post on Tuesday, Garland discussed the ongoing attacks against the department including threats, conspiracy theories and falsehoods, adding that recently it has involved Smith as he has led investigations into Donald Trump.
Garland's comments come after Smith led the DOJ investigation against Trump's election interference case. In August, the former president was indicted on four counts, accused of attempting to overturn the results of his 2020 election loss to Biden in the run-up to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, has pleaded not guilty to the charges, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S.
