Washington, D.C. — This week, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D., participated in a roundtable discussion on the alleged politicization of the Justice Department under President Biden's administration. The discussion addressed claims that the administration is using taxpayer funds to target concerned parents at school board meetings, devout Catholics, and pro-life advocates. Additionally, it touched on what was described as coordinated efforts by Democrats to incarcerate former President Donald Trump.

Senator Marshall joined Eric Schmitt (R-MO), who led the panel, along with Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), among other leaders.

Marshall expressed his concerns during the discussion: “I’m stunned. I’m absolutely stunned to see the weaponization of this Department of Justice. I had no idea that the swamp could be so deep and so thick here. Donald Trump was living happily ever until he became the obvious Republican nominee, and suddenly the lawsuits came out of nowhere. The Attorney General’s district attorney is running on a platform of ‘let’s get Donald Trump.’ This is why Americans don’t have faith in the government. This is why Americans feel like there is indeed this threat to democracy, and I’m honored here to expose some of the swamp that exists in this city.”

Marshall further stated: “I wish I could sit here and say, ‘oh, we’ll legislate this, we’re going to solve it by forming a committee and praying about it.’ But we all know there’s only one solution: we need a different sheriff in the White House. If you want to secure the border, the only way is to get a new sheriff in the White House. If you want the price of gasoline groceries to come down, we need a new sheriff in the White House. If you want the Department of Justice to abide by law, we need a new sheriff in the White House. It is that simple, and hope is that November’s getting closer every day.”
