Rioting at US Capitol Adds More Challenges to Biden's Choice for Attorney
General

Masood Farivar

   With his selection of federal appellate judge Merrick Garland as his
   attorney general, President-elect Joe Biden is conveying a very
   different vision of the top U.S. law enforcement officer's role than
   the one pushed for years by President Donald Trump.

   "Your loyalty is not to me," Biden said last Thursday, an apparent dig
   at Trump who famously demanded loyalty of subordinates and at recently
   departed Attorney General William Barr who was frequently assailed for
   serving as "Trump's personal lawyer."

   "It's to the law, to the Constitution, to the people of this nation,"
   Biden said.
