New this morning, Attorney General Merrick Garland is set to deliver a speech in response to recent accusations by former President Donald Trump regarding the alleged politicization of the Justice Department. Trump has threatened to use the department as a political weapon against his adversaries if he were to be re-elected as president.
The Attorney General has previously spoken out against such threats and attacks on DOJ officials and FBI agents. However, the upcoming speech is expected to be particularly forceful, directly addressing efforts by Trump and his allies to undermine the credibility of the Justice Department.
