White House keeps publicly disagreeing with DOJ decisions while stressing their independence
Fox News
Monday’s Justice Department brief in the case of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was the latest in a recent string of instances where the White House has pointed to the DOJ’s independence while openly criticizing them.
"President Biden has made clear that he has deep concerns about whether capital punishment is consistent with the values that are fundamental to our sense of justice and fairness," White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates told Fox News on Tuesday. Bates went on to note that the Justice Department had not carried out any executions since 2003 until the Trump administration changed that in 2020.More Related News
