Attorney General Merrick B. Garland returns to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday for the first time in more than a year, where senators will have the chance to confront him about Justice Department actions on a wide range of high-profile issues.
The oversight hearing comes months after the FBI searched Donald Trump’s property in Florida as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into the Republican former president, who is now a current presidential candidate for 2024.
The Wednesday hearing will also be the first time Garland appears before the committee since he launched special counsel investigations into records marked as classified that were found at properties of Trump and President Joe Biden.
