- Attorney General Merrick Garland’s decision Friday to name a special counsel to oversee the Justice Department’s investigations of former President Donald Trump raised a questions among legal experts: Why wouldn’t he also appoint a special counsel to oversee the ongoing probe into Hunter Biden?
- Garland appointed Jack Smith, a former career Justice Department prosecutor and former chief prosecutor at The Hague, to serve as special counsel to oversee two ongoing criminal investigations.
- “By appointing a special counsel to investigate his boss’s political enemy, Attorney General Merrick Garland continues to politicize and weaponize the Biden Justice Department — all while Garland ignores smoking-gun evidence of Biden’s foreign corruption,” tweeted Mike Davis, former chief counsel for nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee.
