Merrick Garland Breaks Silence On Trump Indictment, Says He Can’t Address ‘Particulars’

Attorney General Merrick Garland spoke to reporters Wednesday about the Justice Department’s indictment of former President Donald Trump.
Garland was asked by reporters about Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump on 37 counts following an investigation into whether Trump mishandled classified documents and prevented the government from retrieving them.
[…] “So, as you know, I can’t talk about the particular particulars of this or any other ongoing criminal matter. As I said when I appointed Mr. Smith, I did so because it underscores the Justice Department’s commitment to both independence and accountability,” Garland stated after an unrelated DOJ event, per Mediaite. “Mr. Smith is a veteran career prosecutor. He has assembled a group of experienced and talented prosecutors and agents who share his commitment to integrity and the rule of law. Any questions about this matter will have to be answered by their filings in court.”
