According to a report from Fox News, Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland named a special counsel to “investigate the entirety of the criminal probe into the unlawful retention of national defense information at [45th] President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort,” according to a Fox News report:
The same report noted, “The counsel will also look into key aspects of the Jan. 6 investigation, a senior Justice Department official also told Fox News.”
CNBC added:
News of the planned appointment of the special counsel, which was reported by The Wall Street Journal, came three days after Trump announced plans to run for president in 2024. The Republican faces multiple criminal investigations.
NBC News reported that the special counsel, whose name has not been announced, will make decisions for two Department of Justice investigations of Trump.
One is focused on whether Trump broke the law and obstructed justice in connection with his removal of hundreds of documents from the White House, which were shipped to his residence at Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. The other probe is related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot by a mob of Trump supporters.
Garland is scheduled to make a public statement at 2:15 p.m. ET Friday.
This is a developing story and will updated when more information is available.

Hell ain’t half full for all these lying, cheating, thieving, hateful Dems.
PSYCHO
Rule of Law, Bubba
everyone of these anti-American democrats needs to be hung for treason to this great country
Totally agree. The sooner, the better.
Not Anti if they find evidence of a crime. Right, slick?
If it is in the power of Republican Representative, impeach this dim wit traitor to our Constitution immediately upon taking the majority. They must be scared out of their skulls at the prospect of what Trump will do to them when he regains the White House. He’s got a lot of work ahead of him with all of the FBI, CIA and other agency heads who were supposed to protect citizens from people who actually committed crimes against America. That is NOT Trump! It’s them so he will treat them as the criminals they are
