Watch: Attorney general pushes back on GOP's absurd Trump defense
Republicans brought Attorney General Merrick Garland in front of the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday in their latest attempt to obfuscate the reality that Donald Trump is a convicted felon.
The hearing began with Rep. Matt Gaetz bloviating conspiracy theories about Garland coordinating “lawfare” attacks on Trump.
“I'm sorry, I don't agree with anything you just said, but I'm not going to comment on that,” Garland responded.
Then Gaetz launched into a new conspiracy that Garland “dispatched” former Justice Department official Matthew Colangelo to oversee Trump’s investigation and prosecution.
“That’s false. False!” Garland said.
