A U.S. Senator and ranking member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies questioned U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on the Biden administration’s response to rising crime. Senator Jerry Moran says violent crime continues to lack the attention it requires.

Moran says there has also been an increase in attacks against police officers. He says it is no surprise that police departments and sheriff's offices are short-staffed and having issues recruiting new police officers.
