Justice Without Fear or Favor
Trump and his close allies are being investigated by the Department of Justice's criminal probe into the January 6 Insurrection and his attempts to stop the peaceful transfer of power.
Department of Justice prosecutors are questioning witnesses with first hand knowledge about "fake electors" and conversations with Trump and his close advisors. Attorney General Merrick Garland called the criminal probe “the most wide-ranging investigation in its history.” Responding to questions about charging Trump with crimes, Garland said that "no person is above the law" and that he would “pursue justice without fear or favor.”
