Attorney General Merrick Garland Discusses Timing of Trump and Biden Indictments in CBS “60 Minutes” Interview

The Justice Department is at the center of several investigations and indictments, including those against former President Donald Trump and his son Hunter Biden. In an interview with CBS “60 Minutes”, Attorney General Merrick Garland discussed the process behind the federal prosecutions of Trump and the timing of the indictments.

Garland explained that the investigation itself determines the timing of the indictments, disputing allegations that they were timed to be detrimental to the former president’s reelection campaign. He also stated that he would resign if asked by President Joe Biden to take action against Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.

The Justice Department is currently investigating Trump for allegedly hoarding classified documents and covering it up, and for allegedly conspiring to seize power after the 2020 election. They are also looking into the aftermath of the riot at the U.S. Capitol and investigations into classified documents.

Garland said that prosecutors and special counsel follow the evidence and the law when determining the timing of the indictments. He also stated that he would not do anything to interfere with the process.

The Justice Department is committed to ensuring that all investigations and indictments are conducted in a fair and impartial manner. Garland emphasized that he would not do anything to interfere with the process, and that he would resign if asked by President Joe Biden to take action against Donald Trump.
