After Trump indictment, AG Garland praises special counsel Jack Smith, but declines to comment on 'particulars.' 'He has assembled a group of experienced and talented prosecutors and agents who share his commitment to integrity and the rule of law.'
Garland, taking questions at an event on combating violent crime, said he couldn't discuss particulars of the case but offered general praise for special counsel Jack Smith and his team after being asked about accusations made by Trump and other Republicans that the Justice Department has been "weaponized."
When asked about his role in the indictment process, he said he followed regulations set forth for an attorney general in special counsel investigations, and that his role was "completely consistent" with those regulations. Trump surrendered to authorities Tuesday in Miami and appeared in court, where his defense attorney entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
