The Senate on Wednesday voted 70-30 to confirm Merrick Garland as attorney general, five years after the federal appeals court judge was blocked from consideration as former President Barack Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court.

Garland has said his top priority as head of the Justice Department will be overseeing investigations into the January 6 Capitol riot.
