Attorney General Merrick Garland came in with a mission to calm the waters at the Justice Department and restore its reputation for independence after four turbulent years under former President

Attorney General Merrick Garland vowed to restore public faith in the Justice Department but became a punching bag for partisans across the political spectrum.

Let’s be totally and completely clear: President Biden should publish both volumes of Smith’s report before leaving office. Doing so would serve the public interest and—most importantly—would be legal. Because, as an official action of a sitting president, it falls under the Supreme Court’s blanket of immunity.

President Biden issued pre-emptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci and others who may have faced scrutiny under the incoming Donald Trump administration.

Biden shocked many of his supporters last month when he pardoned his son Hunter from all present and future crimes out of fear that the coming Trump administration would single him out. Monday’s pardons seem to be protecting some of the right’s favorite bogeymen from Trump’s vengeance, which could come soon after he is sworn in later in the day.

Those close to Garland say that despite immense political pressures, he stood firm in his commitment to independence and impartiality.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, preparing to step down from his post, will urge career civil servants at the Justice Department on Thursday not to let unfair criticism prevent them from doing what is right for the country.

The special counsel who brought criminal charges against Hunter Biden says the probes were “the culmination of thorough, impartial investigations, not partisan politics.”

Special counsel David Weiss defended his two criminal prosecutions of Hunter Biden in a special counsel report on Monday and accused President Joe Biden of making "baseless accusations" about Weiss's work.

House Oversight Chair James Comer is requesting President-elect Trump’s DOJ investigate and prosecute President Biden’s brother, James Biden, for alleged false statements to Congress.

Special Counsel David Weiss is expected to release his final report on his years-long investigation into Hunter Biden as soon as next week, Fox News has learned. Hunter Biden was found guilty of three felony firearm offenses stemming from Special Counsel David Weiss’ investigation.

Washington – During hearings on Merrick Garland's nomination to be President Joe Biden's attorney general, the longtime federal appeals court judge told senators in 2021 that he hoped to “turn down the volume” on public discourse about the Justice Department and return to the days when the agency was not the “center of partisan disagreement.”
