And I think perhaps the most tragic legacy

of the Biden-Harris administration has been the politicization and the weaponization of the United States Department of Justice.

And we don't need to ask hypothetically because Joe Biden publicly mused and allowed the New York Times to report it, calling on Merrick Garland, why will he not prosecute Trump more quickly?

And Merrick Garland, sadly, he sat in that chair and promised to be apolitical and he broke that promise almost the instant he walked into the Department of Justice.

If you look on the west pediment of the Supreme Court of the United States, just above the entrance, there's a simple yet profound forward phrase, equal justice under law.

We have seen over the last four years a Department of Justice that systematically targeted the political opponents of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and that systematically protected his friends and allies.

And it is tragic to see the loss of confidence in the American people in the Department of Justice and in the FBI.

I would note, I don't think there's an institution in America who has lost more respect from the American people than the FBI has in the last four years.

That is a grotesque violation of

of the obligation of the Department of Justice and the FBI.

So I want to start with just a very simple question.

If you are confirmed as Attorney General, will you pledge to fairly and faithfully uphold the law regardless of party?

Look, I want to be clear for folks at home.

I don't want a Republican Department of Justice.

I don't want a Democrat Department of Justice.

I want a Department of Justice that follows the damn law.

And I think the American people do, too.

That shouldn't be too much to expect.

Now, I'm grateful to President Trump for nominating you.

I think on any objective level, you're clearly qualified for this position.
