The Justice Department’s (DOJ) effort to block the release of an internal legal memo from 2019 has highlighted the delicate balancing act Attorney General Merrick Garland is facing as he tries to turn the page on the Trump era.
The DOJ said this week that it would be appealing a judge’s decision ordering the department to release a document that essentially cleared former President Trump of any criminal wrongdoing during former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
The decision is likely to disappoint the critics of former Attorney General William Barr who were hoping that Garland would not stand in the way of efforts to show whether Justice was used to shield Trump.
