Merrick Garland defends the onerous Jack Smith and Alvin Bragg against conspiracy theories and falsehoods
2024-06-25
[Newsweek] Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday pushed back on attacks on Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Department of Justice (DOJ).

In an opinion column titled "Unfounded attacks on the Justice Department must end" published by the Washington Post on Tuesday, Garland discussed the ongoing attacks against the department including threats, conspiracy theories and falsehoods, adding that recently it has involved Smith as he has led investigations into Donald Trump.

Newsweek has reached out to the Department of Justice and Trump's spokesperson via email for comment.

"In recent weeks, we have seen an escalation of attacks that go far beyond public scrutiny, criticism, and legitimate and necessary oversight of our work. They are baseless, personal and dangerous. These attacks come in the form of threats to defund particular department investigations, most recently the special counsel's prosecution of the former president," Garland wrote.

Garland continued by noting a specific example following Trump's guilty verdict in the criminal hush money case, which was brought forward by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
