Ted Cruz: AG Garland 'Should Be Impeached' for Bannon Sentence

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is “furious” over the four-month jail sentence for former President Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon on a contempt of Congress conviction.

Attorney General Merrick Garland should be impeached for weaponizing the Department of Justice to go after President Joe Biden and Democrats’ political rivals, Cruz said on a podcast Monday.

“I am furious because Merrick Garland has presided over a Department of Justice that now consists of simply being a partisan weapon to attack the political opponents of Joe Biden and the Democrats,” Cruz told “Verdict with Ted Cruz.” “Merrick Garland should be ashamed. He should resign in disgrace, and if he doesn’t, he should be impeached and removed from office.”
