U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday appointed a special counsel to examine whether Donald Trump should be indicted on federal charges related to several Justice Department investigations, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Who Garland will name and the scope of their examination is unknown. The move likely reflects the fact that Trump formally announced his 2024 candidacy earlier this week, and Garland wants to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, particularly if President Joe Biden seeks reelection.
