Attorney General Merrick Garland to rebuke 'false narratives' about Department of Justice at House hearingAttorney General Merrick Garland speaks during a news conference at the Justice Department in Washington, April 14, 2023. A top assassin for the Sinaloa drug cartel who was arrested by Mexican authorities last fall has been extradited to the U.S. to face drug, gun and witness retaliation charges, the Justice Department said May 25, 2024.
"That conspiracy theory is an attack on the judicial process itself," Garland will say, according to his remarks. In late May, Garland called Trump's accusation, which came after documents were unsealed by the special counsel investigating the ongoing federal probe into those missing documents, "false and extremely dangerous.""The document that has been referred to in the allegation is the Justice Department's standard policy, limiting the use of force as the FBI advises it as part of the standard operations plan for searches," Garland previously told reporters.
