Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene officially filed impeachment articles against Attorney General Merrick Garland, accusing him of using the Justice Department to go after former president Donald Trump.

The Georgia Republican, an avid loyalist of Mr. Trump’s, filed the articles on Friday after news broke this week that Mr. Garland directed the FBI to raid the former president’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.

“Merrick Garland has weaponized the DOJ and unleashed the FBI to target, harass, and persecute Joe Biden’s political enemies,” Mrs. Greene said. “The unprecedented raid on President Trump’s home is the type of tyrannical action that happens just before a country falls into a violent dictatorship.”

Mrs. Greene added that Mr. Garland‘s efforts are politically-motivated to prevent Mr. Trump from running for office in 2024.
