Despite criticism from both parties, Attorney General Merrick Garland defends the integrity of Hur's findings on Biden's handling of classified documents.

Overview

  • Hur's report described President Biden as a 'sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,' sparking debate over the appropriateness of such characterizations.
  • Attorney General Merrick Garland rejected suggestions to censor or edit Hur's report, emphasizing the importance of the Justice Department's independence.
