The unprecedented indictments of Trump have shaken Republicans’ faith in the justice system and led to a back-and-forth over its fairness with Garland. The attorney general has characterized the criticisms as attacks against public servants.
“These attacks have come in the form of conspiracy theories, dangerous falsehoods, efforts to bully and intimidate career public servants by repeatedly and publicly singling them out, and threats of actual violence,” Garland will say, according to NBC News. “It is dangerous and outrageous that you have to endure them.”
