Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee on Justice Dept. oversight, where he condemned attacks on the Justice Department. Garland specifically addressed the conspiracy theory pushed by Donald Trump’s allies that the DOJ was behind Trump's state court prosecution in New York. He stated that such false claims are an attack on the judicial process itself and emphasized that he will not be intimidated by these unprecedented attacks. Garland accused Trump's Republican allies of peddling false narratives that endanger law enforcement and undermine the DOJ's integrity. He also described these attacks as baseless and extremely dangerous falsehoods. This marks Garland's first appearance before Congress since Trump was convicted in a hush-money trial.
