Since I became attorney general, I have made clear that the Department of Justice will speak through its court filings and its work.

DOJ only speaks through its pleadings and through its work in court.

The government also developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the storage room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation.

The FBI uncovered multiple sources of evidence indicating that the response to the May 11 grand jury subpoena was incomplete and that classified documents remained at the premises.

Merrick Garland had personally approved the search. That's something he told us last week in an extraordinary press conference. But what we reported is that that decision came after weeks of deliberation and it was certainly not one that…

Merrick Garland has to assess the damage done, and then decide whether to charge the former president with a crime, based on one of the three federal offenses that are listed in the search warrant.

Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly without fear or favor.

Let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the FBI and Justice Department agents and prosecutors. I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked.

Faithful adherence to the law is the bedrock of our country is the bedrock of the Department of Justice. No one is above the law.
