U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland will testify before the House Judiciary Committee next Thursday, according to a notice of the oversight hearing obtained by Axios.

Why it matters: This will be the first time Garland has appeared before the panel. The hearing comes as the Justice Department faces a series of contentious issues, including enforcement of the Jan. 6 committee's subpoenas, the crackdown on Texas' new abortion law, the overflowing of migrants at the border, voting rights and more.

A Judiciary Committee aide confirmed to Axios that Garland will testify.

Politico first reported Garland is scheduled to appear before the committee.

Details: The hearing on oversight of the DOJ will take place on Oct. 21 at 10am ET in the Congressional Auditorium.

If they don't get serious jail time, they'll be back, bigger and bolder than before.
