When Attorney General Merrick Garland appears before an oversight hearing of the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, the big question will be whether he will be forthcoming in responding to questions, or cite “continuing investigations” to justify providing minimal or no information.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the judiciary panel’s chairman, expects, according to a spokesman, to focus on questions about the actions and lack thereof by two Special Counsels appointed by Garland—Jack Smith, who heads the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation of former President Donald Trump’s possession of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago, Florida estate, and David Weiss, the Delaware U.S. Attorney who has been investigating Hunter Biden, the president’s son, for more than five years.
