Attorney General Merrick Garland, seeking to reassure Americans about the status of the federal investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of angry supporters of former President Donald Trump, said Wednesday that the Justice Department will “follow the facts wherever they lead.”
Garland, speaking in the Justice Department’s Great Hall, said the department “remains committed to holding all January 6th perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law — whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy.”
