Sen. JDVance1 announced his plans to put holds on all nominees to the DOJ on Tuesday, hitting back against what he calls “the unprecedented political prosecution” of former President Donald Trump after he was indicted on federal charges.
“I will be holding all Department of Justice nominees that Merrick Garland will use if confirmed, not to enforce the law impartially, which is his duty, but clearly to harass his political opponents,” Vance said in a video posted on Twitter Tuesday afternoon. “I think we have to grind this department to a halt until Merrick Garland promises to do his job and stop going after his political opponents.
Vance announced his plans shortly before Trump appeared in a Miami courthouse and pleaded not guilty to 37 felony charges related to his improper handling of classified White House documents. The charges include willful retention of national defense information and conspiracy to obstruct justice. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sidestepped a similar question, saying he was unaware of Vance’s plans.
