Donald Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz for attorney general led JD Vance to issue a social media post targeting Merrick Garland.
In a possible attempt to shield Matt Gaetz, who President-elect Donald Trump has tapped as the next attorney general, from criticism, Vice President-elect JD Vance made a post on social media deflecting attention toward current AG Merrick Garland.Trump called Gaetz a 'deeply gifted and tenacious attorney' when he announced the pick on his Truth Social platform Wednesday. As attorney general, Gaetz would 'root out systemic corruption' at the Department of Justice , Trump said.
As reported by The Washington Post in October 2021, the DOJ was accused of using the FBI to pursue parents after a memo was sent out announcing plans by the federal task forces to investigate violence and threats of violence at these meetings.The move from the Department of Justice came after fraught scenes at school board meetings across the country, with heated exchanges about COVID-19 regulations and Critical Race Theory .
