Attorney General Garland Slams Investigation Critics

Attorney General Merrick Garland has forcefully defended the Justice Department's investigation into former President Donald Trump, calling it "imperative" and "urgent."

Garland made his remarks in a speech to the National Association of Attorneys General, in which he said that the department is "committed to following the facts and the law, wherever they lead." He added that the investigation is "not about politics or partisanship, but about upholding the rule of law."

Garland's remarks come as the Justice Department is facing increasing pressure from Republicans to end the investigation. Some Republicans have accused the department of being biased against Trump and of trying to influence the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.

Garland has repeatedly denied these accusations, and he has said that the investigation will continue until it is complete.
