He has gone so far as to voice frustration with the pace of Attorney General Merrick Garland\u2019s investigation into the riot that has not resulted in charges against Trump, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/04\/02\/us\/politics\/merrick-garland-biden-trump.html\">The New York Times<\/a>. As The NYT reports:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The attorney general\u2019s deliberative approach has come to frustrate Democratic allies of the White House and, at times, President Biden himself. As recently as late last year, Mr. Biden confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted, according to two people familiar with his comments. And while the president has never communicated his frustrations directly to Mr. Garland, he has said privately that he wanted Mr. Garland to act less like a ponderous judge and more like a prosecutor who is willing to take decisive action over the events of Jan. 6.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On Friday, Garland was asked about potential political pressure he may be feeling to deliver results in the investigation into January 6 and hundreds of criminal charges already filed over the event. Garland said that the only pressure he feels is \u201cto do the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only pressure I feel, and the only pressure that our line prosecutors feel, is to do the right thing. That means we follow the facts and the law, wherever they may lead,\u201d Garland <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/04\/01\/politics\/merrick-garland-january-6\/index.html\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>White House spokesman Andrew Bates told The NYT in a statement that the president has not attempted to interfere with the Justice Department\u2019s investigation, asserting that Garland had \u201cdecisively restored\u201d the department\u2019s independence in a shot at the Trump administration and DOJ under former Attorney General Bill Barr.<\/p>\n<p>Bates told The NYT: \u201cPresident Biden is immensely proud of the attorney general\u2019s service in this administration and has no role in investigative priorities or decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Trump\u2019s relationship with his attorney general <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/bill-barr-trump-2020-election-results\/\">deteriorated<\/a> in the final months of his administration as Barr pushed back against Trump\u2019s allegations of widespread voter fraud. Barr resigned in December 2020 before Trump\u2019s term finished the next month.<\/p>\n<p>As Biden reportedly wants more from Garland on the January 6 investigation, Biden\u2019s son, Hunter, is under federal investigation over his foreign business deals, including deals in Ukraine and China. Last week, the White House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/white-house-stands-by-claim-that-hunter-biden-did-not-profit-off-chinese-business-deals-docs-show-his-companies-made-millions\">said<\/a> that it stands by Biden\u2019s 2020 claim that his son did not benefit financially from deals in China, despite documents showing that companies controlled in part by Biden collected millions in payments from a Chinese energy conglomerate.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
