Attorney General Merrick Garland said Monday that the U.S. Justice Department does not have different sets of rules based on political party, political connections or wealth.
“We do not have different rules for Democrats or Republicans, different rules for the powerful or the powerless, different rules for the rich or the poor,” Garland said at a press conference Monday.
“We apply the facts and the law in each case in a neutral, non-partisan manner,” he said.
Garland made those comments at a press availability on the topic of the dueling investigations into how former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden allegedly improperly handled classified state secrets.
