Matthew Whitaker, former President Donald Trump's one-time acting attorney general, told Newsmax that current Attorney General Merrick Garland appointing a special counsel for the Trump case would be "cover" for the Justice Department.
During a Monday appearance on "Spicer & Co.," the former White House official argued that Garland's decision for assigning a special counsel was motivated by a desire to create "political separation" between the Trump probes and Biden administration.
"Based on what we're learning more and more about him, it just appears to be a political hatchet man that ultimately is still going to be responsible to the attorney general, and the attorney general is still going to be in charge of this investigation," Whitaker said of special counsel Jack Smith.
Whitaker further drew attention to Smith's job, which might involve constructing a panel centered around investigating the sensitive Mar-a-Lago files obtained by the FBI and events related to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol rally.
