<p>Attorney General <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/merrick-garland">Merrick Garland</a> testified on Wednesday that President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Joe Biden</a> never told him to indict former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>.</p>
<p>The denial came during a House Judiciary Committee hearing amid a line of questioning by Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/adam-schiff">Adam Schiff</a> (D-CA) about what the congressman said were &#8220;false claims&#8221; made by Trump.</p>
<p>Schiff, who is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/adam-schiff-will-run-for-dianne-feinsteins-senate-seat">running for a Senate seat</a> in California, referenced <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/transcripts/full-transcript-read-meet-the-press-kristen-welker-interview-trump-rcna104778">a recent interview Trump</a> did with NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet The Press&#8221; in which the former president bemoaned how he is facing &#8220;Biden political indictments&#8221; and claimed Biden told the attorney general to indict him.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mr. Attorney General, I want to give you a chance to respond. Was the president telling the truth or was he lying when he said that President Biden told you to indict him?&#8221; Schiff asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;No one has told me to indict and in this case the decision to indict was made by the special counsel,&#8221; Garland replied.</p>
<p>Upon being pressed again about whether Trump made a false statement, Garland refused to directly address the point about truthfulness and again stated that he never was told to pursue any indictments.</p>
<p>Jack Smith, the special counsel appointed by Garland, has secured indictments against Trump and some of his allies in two cases: one that relates to the former president&#8217;s handling of sensitive documents after leaving office and the other focused on alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.</p>
<p>Trump, who is also facing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-trumps-trial-schedule-lines-up-with-the-2024-election-calendar">two other indictments</a> in New York and Georgia, has denied any wrongdoing, pleaded not guilty to the charges he faces, and claims that politically motivated prosecutors are conducting a “witch hunt” against him.</p>

<p>During the hearing on Wednesday, Garland also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/garland-testifies-he-cant-recollect-contact-with-fbi-hq-about-hunter-biden-probe">faced questions</a> about the criminal investigation into the criminal investigation of Hunter, the son of the president.</p>
<p>Garland insisted that he has maintained his independence and refrained from political decisions as attorney general.</p>
<p>&#8220;As the president himself has said — and I reaffirm today: I am not the president&#8217;s lawyer,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p>Biden and Trump are both running 2024 campaigns seeking a second term in the White House.</p>
<p>Although a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/29/us/trump-pac-legal-fees.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">great deal of resources</a> are being spent on helping Trump combat four criminal indictments, he remains the frontrunner for the GOP nomination contest with more than 55% support among a <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/2024_republican_presidential_nomination-7548.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">large field of competitors</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/latest-2024-presidential-polling-trump-rises-above-biden-again">edges out Biden</a> in a hypothetical 2020 rematch, as shown in the RealClearPolitics average of polls with a little more than 400 days left before the next presidential election.</p>
