"Attorney General Merrick Garland's Testimony and Trump-Hunter Biden Minefields"

Attorney General Merrick Garland's leadership and approach to the Justice Department's investigations have drawn both praise and criticism. Garland's commitment to running a law enforcement agency insulated from political interference has been tested as the department investigates Trump and Hunter Biden. Republicans are expected to criticize Garland's leadership during his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, accusing him of misusing the department to attack the president's political rival and going too easy on Biden's son. Garland's defenders argue that he is the right person to navigate the complexities of the moment, while others believe his hands-off approach may have left the department unprepared to defend itself against attacks.
