not to indict her uncle for inciting his followers to violently challenge the certification of President Joe Biden's election.

Garland, whom Biden appointed a day after the insurrection, has maintained that his first priority was restoring the Justice Department's reputation as an apolitical body.that he hoped the DOJ would prosecute those who defy subpoenas from the House's January 6 commission, Garland's spokesperson said the department would "make its own independent decisions in all prosecutions based solely on the facts and the law.
