Washington CNN —Attorney General Merrick Garland appeared defiant Tuesday as he spent hours fielding questions from lawmakers on a range of topics, occasionally sparring with Republican House members seeking to use his testimony to attack the Justice Department.
“These repeated attacks on the Justice Department are unprecedented, and they are unfounded,” he told lawmakers.
“I will not be intimidated, and the Justice Department will not be intimidated.
“It is not the fault of the Department of Justice that Donald Trump has surrounded himself with criminals,” Lieu said.
“Trump brought that upon himself.”Lieu also noted that President Biden’s son Hunter is being prosecuted “in federal court right now” by Garland’s Justice Department.
