Fox News
President Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland is to appear before the new Congress for the first time during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday on Justice Department oversight.
The Justice Department is handling investigations into Biden, Trump and Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence following the FBI’s discovery of classified documents at all three of their homes or offices.

After Trump’s announcement of a 2024 re-election bid, and amid speculation over whether Biden, 80, will run for a second consecutive term, Garland appointed separate special counsels to handle their probes. Special counsel Jack Smith is handling investigations into Trump over the classified documents as well as the former president’s alleged involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
