Attorney General Merrick Garland pushed back on Republican lawmakers’ claims of a weaponized Justice Department on Capitol Hill on June 4 amid their threats to hold him in contempt of Congress.

“These repeated attacks on the Justice Department are unprecedented and unfounded. These attacks have not, and they will not, influence our decision making,” the attorney general told members of the House Judiciary Committee at a 10 a.m. hearing.
