Attorney General Merrick Garland is responding to allegations that the Department of Justice has been influenced by politics. He is scheduled to speak at 11:30 a.m. EST. Throughout President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration, Republicans, especially former President Donald Trump, have accused Garland and the DOJ of being politicized, primarily due to actions taken against rioters during the January 6 Capitol riots and the indictments against Trump. These unprecedented charges have caused many Republicans to lose trust in the justice system, prompting ongoing debates about its impartiality with Garland. The attorney general has described these criticisms as attacks on public servants, stating that &#8220;These attacks have come in the form of conspiracy theories, dangerous falsehoods, efforts to bully and intimidate career public servants by repeatedly and publicly singling them out, and threats of actual violence,&#8221; according to NBC News.
