Attorney General Merrick Garland has defended the Justice Department's handling of two separate special counsel investigations into classified documents linked to former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. He has stated that the Department applies the same norms and practices to all, and is now grappling with a growing political nightmare due to the investigations targeting two presidents. In his first public remarks on the topic, Garland was asked whether he believed the Justice Department was handling the probes fairly, to which he responded that the Department has a set of norms and practices that are applied to all.
