Here are 3 questions AG nominee Merrick Garland dodged from Senate Republicans
Fox News
Judge Merrick Garland, President Biden's attorney general nominee, repeatedly dodged questions from Republican senators
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-MO, asked Garland whether he belives that illegally crossing the border should remain a crime. "I haven't thought about that question, I just haven't thought about that question" Garland said. "The president has made clear that we are a nation with borders, with national security, I don't know of a proposal to decriminalize but still make it unlawful to answer, I just haven't thought about it." Garland similarly declined to make a firm commital to leaving Special Counsel John Durham in place to continue his investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. Garland said he has "no reason" to think that leaving Durham in place to continue his investigation was the wrong decision, but declined to commit to a course of action.More Related News
