Attorney General Garland's Resignation Threat Over Trump Actions

Attorney General Merrick Garland stated in an interview that he would resign if President Joe Biden asked him to take action against Donald Trump, although he believes that scenario is unlikely. Garland emphasized that Justice Department prosecutors are nonpartisan and do not allow partisan considerations to influence their determinations. He dismissed claims that the cases involving Trump and his son Hunter were timed to affect Trump's potential presidential run in 2024. Garland expressed concern over the violence and death threats directed towards judges and prosecutors involved in the Trump cases, emphasizing the importance of protecting each other and maintaining civility in order for democracy to survive.
