Attorney General Merrick Garland told lawmakers during a Wednesday Judiciary Committee hearing he “[could not] recollect” if he had a conversation with the FBI about its probe into Hunter Biden.
“Have you had personal contact with anyone at FBI headquarters about the Hunter Biden investigation?” Rep. Mike Johnson asked Garland. “I don’t recollect the answer to that question, but the FBI works for the Justice Department,” he replied. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” Johnson interrupted. “You don’t recollect? You don’t recollect whether you’ve talked with anybody at FBI headquarters about an investigation of the president’s son?”
“I don’t believe that I did,” Garland affirmatively replied. “I promised the Senate when I came before it for confirmation that I would leave Mr. Weiss in place and that I would not interfere with his investigation.”that confirming such conversations would abridge confidential communications. “There is no question that he can answer whether such conversations occurred,” he said.
