going into this. >> the interesting thing about this, this is a standard oversight hearing. this is a chance for committee members on the judiciary committee to question the attorney general about what's happening at the department of justice. you can bet that the attorney general will do everything he can to steer it to a conversation about what the department of justice has done in his seven months at the top and what it will continue to do. in his opening statement he talks specifically about always adhering to the rule of law. this is a message that we've heard from the attorney general repeatedly, whether it was when he was officially nominated by president biden, whether it was at his confirmation hearing, and ever since. this is something that the attorney general will hit right off the top in his opening remarks to lawmakers there. but he'll also talk about the work the department of justice has done during his relatively short tenure. he'll talk about the focus on civil rights. he'll also talk about combatting cyber crime and foreign and domestic terrorism.
