USA Today: 'Follow the facts wherever they lead': Garland vows to pursue Jan. 6 'perpetrators, at any level'

Attorney General Merrick Garland pledged Wednesday to pursue the perpetrators of the Jan. 6 assault at "any level," saying federal authorities would "follow the facts wherever they lead."

"The Justice Department remains committed to holding all Jan. 6th perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law – whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy," Garland said in a speech as the nation readies to mark the grim anniversary of the Capitol attack.
