DOJ Taskforce Moving Forward with Seizing and Freezing Russian Oligarchs' Assets, AG says

Attorney General Merrick Garland say he is being briefed every day on the situation in Ukraine and that the Justice Department is part of an all-of-government response to the conflict, including proceeding with a taskforce to "freeze and seize the assets of sanctioned Russian oligarchs and Russian entities that are facilitating this unjust war." He says the work of the taskforce will complement an international taskforce announced by the president and that he will soon be meeting with his foreign counterparts to work on those matters. close
