It also followed a heated exchange in a Senate committee hearing on Wednesday, in which Cruz got into a shouting match with Garland accusing him of politicizing the Department of Justice. Cruz said the DOJ under President Joe Biden was “perfectly happy to refuse to enforce the law and allow threats of violence” and further probed Garland about whether the DOJ had prosecuted any of the protesters for violating a federal statute that disallows anyone from standing outside of a justice’s home in an attempt to influence them.
