In a rare interview, Attorney General Merrick Garland addressed accusations of political bias within the Justice Department and emphasized the need for independence and adherence to the law. Garland, who seldom speaks to the press, defended the department's actions and highlighted the appointment of special counsels to ensure impartiality in investigations.
Garland affirmed that the Justice Department operates based on facts and the law, with no room for politics in their determinations. He reassured the public that the regulations governing the appointment of special counsels guarantee their independence. These special counsels, many of whom are seasoned career prosecutors, report to Garland while following established protocols.
