The Justice Department has come out with new guidance emphasizing that investigations must be free from bias involving race and gender or against people with disabilities
FILE - A sign marks the facade of the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building, May 5, 2022, in Washington. The Justice Department issued new guidance Thursday, May 25, 2023, emphasizing that investigations must be free from bias involving race and gender or against people with disabilities. Anti-profiling rules were also expanded to include thousands more people who are part of the justice system.
The American Civil Liberties Union said the changes are a step forward, but that the guidelines don't fully ban bias across national security activities, including areas where the most harm have occurred like watch lists and pressuring to become informants. “Fair and unbiased law enforcement practices are smart and effective law enforcement practices,” according to the guidance.

The letter, though thin on details, was sent so Trump's lawyers could present arguments that Trump should not be charged in the investigation related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News. The letter asks Garland for a meeting at his earliest convenience to discuss what the attorneys describe as the 'ongoing injustice that is being perpetrated' by special counsel Jack Smith and says that no president has been 'baselessly investigated' in such an 'unlawful fashion.'
