Attorney General Merrick Garland testified on oversight of the Justice Department before the House Judiciary Committee. Several Republican members grilled Attorney General Garland on whether or not he has interfered in U.S. Attorney David Weiss' investigation into President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. Mr. Garland repeatedly rejected these accusations and said, “I am not the president’s lawyer.” The attorney general also emphasized he has continued to support Attorney Weiss--who was originally appointed by former President Trump--including appointing him as special counsel upon Mr. Weiss' request. Several Democratic members criticized Republicans' handling of the hearing and, along with Republican Rep. Ken Buck (CO), defended Mr. Garland’s record. Other topics included the fentanyl crisis, gun violence, and other allegations pertaining to the Biden family.
