Watch Live: Garland to deliver statement at Justice Department

Washington — Attorney General Merrick Garland will make a statement from the Justice Department on Thursday, the department said.

Garland will speak at 1:15 p.m. The Justice Department didn't provide the topic of his remarks.

His scheduled statement comes as President Biden is under scrutiny after roughly 10 documents with classification markings were discovered in his vice-presidential office at a think tank in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 2.

The records discovered at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement were immediately turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration, and the Justice Department was notified, according to the special counsel to the president, Richard Sauber.

Garland asked the U.S. attorney in Chicago, John Lausch, to review the documents and examine how they ended up at the think tank. Lausch was appointed to the post by former President Donald Trump.

Sauber said in a statement Thursday that after the initial discovery, Mr. Biden's lawyers searched his Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, Del., residences and found a second, "small number" of documents marked classified from the Obama administration in a storage space in the garage at his Wilmington home. No documents were found at the Rehoboth Beach property, Sauber said.

The Department of Justice was notified upon discovery of the records, and Mr. Biden's lawyers arranged for the department to take the documents, he added.

Republicans have seized upon the discovery of the documents as evidence of unfair treatment by federal investigators toward Trump, who is under Justice Department investigation for his handling of sensitive government records he brought with him to his South Florida residence from the White House at the end of his presidency.

Garland appointed a special counsel, Jack Smith, to take over the probe involving Trump and the alleged improper removal and storage of classified information in unauthorized spaces, as well as the unlawful concealment or removal of government records.

The statement will be all about Trump and the charges against him and will ignore Biden.

Or, it will be about how what Biden did wasn’t that bad so just focus on Trump.

"We have come to the conclusion this was all the fault of Donald J Trump. I am assigning a new special counsel to investigate how Donald J Trump is totally at fault for the confidential documents found in the home of former VP Zhao Biden."

Lemme guess, he will use very few words, make vague statements, add some confusion, then take no questions.

Maybe he’s arresting Trump.

Maybe he’s covering for Biden.

Take your pick.

He needs to investigate Biden so he can find no violation of the law.

Garland KNOWS this scandal will ultimately bite him in the ass

He and his corrupt DOJ pursued Trump with KGB-like zeal. They purposely created an MSM spectacle over Trump’s possession of “top secret documents.”

Now he faces the same within his own clique and the deep-state puppet Biden.

The DOJ/FBI are AGAIN about to be exposed as corrupt political hacks - and he’s in tight spot. How will this grey, DC ghoul handle it to minimize the shame and hypocrisy he faces?

I find it very strange that this Biden “discovery” is even being disclosed or reported on at all. Even stranger that Merrick Garland is being pushed in front of the cameras just 2 days later...
