Biden: Justice is subservient to power

NEWS

What did Biden say?

While speaking to reporters at the White House, Biden said any individual who ignores subpoenas related to the Jan. 6 investigation should be held "accountable."

"I hope the committee goes after them and holds them accountable," Biden said.

When a reporter followed up, asking Biden whether he thinks such individuals should be "prosecuted by the Justice Department," the president answered in the affirmative.

"I do, yes," Biden said.

What was the response?

Justice Department spokesman Anthony Coley fired back a "terse" response late Friday.

"The Department of Justice will make its own independent decisions in all prosecutions based solely on the facts and the law. Period. Full stop," Coley said.
