Merrick Garland to Testify Before House Judiciary

“Attorney General Merrick Garland is set to testify in front of the House Judiciary Committee Sept. 20,” Punchbowl News reports.

“Garland has been a target of House Republicans for months now, and Speaker Kevin McCarthy has suggested that he may open impeachment proceedings in July.”

“At issue is the Justice Department’s handling of the plea bargain agreement announced last week for Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, on federal tax and gun charges. Republicans – who say the younger Biden got a ‘slap on the wrist’ – are demanding the appointment of a special counsel in the case.”
