Meet the Californian who will square off with House Republicans this year over congressional oversight of the Justice Department.
Assistant Atty. Gen. Carlos Uriarte has spent months preparing to face off against House Republicans as they unleash a gantlet of congressional investigations into the Justice Department.
“Frankly, I think it makes the department better when Congress is effectively doing oversight of the department, and so my view is, I want to be as cooperative as we can with them. I want to find those areas where we can work with Congress, because I know that it makes the department better when we do that, [and] are transparent, but I also recognize that there’s some ways and times where we can’t do that,” Uriate told The Times in an interview.
“The Assistant attorney general stands right between the executive branch and the legislative branch. There’s pressure on both sides. The Department of Justice is reluctant to provide information about many matters, and the Hill wants information.
“In my family, there was always a deep sense of obligation to give back, that this country had given my grandparents just this amazing opportunity,” he said. “[My grandmother] would talk about how important it was for her to be engaged civically, and how important it was for us to be giving back, and so I always had that sense growing up, even if I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do.”
