'No White House participation whatsoever': Merrick Garland douses Team Trump's interference claims

United States Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday pushed back against baseless claims made by former President Donald Trump and his attorneys that President Joe Biden has been secretly orchestrating the litany of probes into Trump.

During an interview with C-SPAN, a reporter noted that "a number of President Trump's allies have suggested without any evidence that you are conducting these investigations at the behest of the Biden White House. I just want to give you an opportunity to address that."

Garland stated that "I think that the president made clear when he appointed me that he would not interfere with in any way any criminal investigations and he has stood by that. And there has been no White House participation whatsoever."

The latest incident occurred on Tuesday morning when Trump's lawyer Alina Habba told Newsmax that the Federal Bureau of Investigation "planted" the evidence that it seized at Trump's Palm Beach, Florida Mar-a-Lago estate during its search warrant execution on August 8th.

"We can't really be sure that they're following the law at any point and that's the most concerning thing I think for all Americans right now," she said.

Team Trump has also refused to cooperate with his hand-picked special master's order to identify which of the top-secret documents seized by the FBI that Trump has insisted that he "declassified."
