Merrick Garland is President-elect Joe Biden’s pick for U.S. Attorney General.
Three women — Lisa Monaco, Vanita Gupta and Kristen Clarke — have also been nominated to lead core elements of the Department of Justice.

If confirmed, Garland will inherit a department charged with conducting broad police reform following the racial unrest in 2020, which was heightened by the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.https://bit.ly/3osfPjc
There will also be the question of the federal death penalty, which Biden has promised to end. Garland did not participate in the recent D.C. Court of Appeals decision that denied Lisa Montgomery an en banc hearing to stay her execution on January 12.https://bit.ly/361TrGr
All three women have been nominated for positions that will also need Senate confirmation. https://bit.ly/3osfPjc — Monaco, deputy attorney general — Gupta, associate attorney general — Clarke, assistant attorney general for civil rightspic.twitter.com/JrUVJoVaiV
“They will restore the independence of the Department so it serves the interests of the people not a presidency, rebuild public trust in the rule of law, and work tirelessly to ensure a more fair and equitable justice system,” Biden said of his picks.https://bit.ly/3osfPjc
