Senate Republicans request AG Garland testify again, say 'statements appear to be deeply misleading'
Fox News
Sens. Sasse and six other Republicans are requesting that Garland clarify remarks he made at a Judiciary hearing on Oct. 27.
In a letter Monday, Sasse and others requested Garland clarify his remarks and suggested they conflicted with information from an FBI whistleblower and U.S. attorney's office.
Garland testified before the committee on Oct. 27, when he faced intense questioning over his Oct. 4 memo announcing an FBI investigation of purported intimidation of school boards. Republicans have alleged that Garland was targeting parents amid fiery battles over critical race theory (CRT) and other controversial curricula at the local level. While Garland didn't use the words "domestic terrorism" in his memo, it came shortly after the National School Board Association (NSBA) telling the administration that school boards might be encountering just that.
