Attorney General Merrick Garland delivered a strong defense of the Justice Department's integrity during an address to DOJ employees, emphasizing the importance of impartiality and condemning the escalating threats and conspiracy theories aimed at the agency. He reiterated that the DOJ will not serve as a political weapon and highlighted the historical norms established by past leaders to ensure fairness in law enforcement. Despite criticisms, particularly surrounding high-profile prosecutions involving figures like Donald Trump and Hunter Biden, Garland urged DOJ staff to remain resilient against intimidation and to uphold their commitment to justice. His remarks came just before the upcoming presidential election, during a period of heightened scrutiny of the DOJ's actions. Critics, including former federal prosecutor Jim Trusty, expressed skepticism regarding Garland's claims of impartiality, pointing to concerns over perceived political motivations in recent prosecutions. Overall, Garland reassured staff of his support and dedication to protecting the department's independence from political pressures.
