In a brief, 3 1/2-minute statement at the Justice Department headquarters in Washington, DC, Garland made his first public remarks since the Aug. 8 raid on Mar-a-Lago, which the embattled former president publicly disclosed that evening — setting off a firestorm of verbal attacks by his closest supporters upon law enforcement.
