Attorney General Merrick Garland pushed back Thursday on criticism from White House officials and others who argued he should not have let special counsel Robert Hur use language claiming that President Joe Biden suffers from memory loss in his report on the president's handing of classified documents.
” Pressed on whether he thinks Hur used appropriate language to characterize the president’s mental state, Garland said he has remained committed to making reports from special counsels public — emphasizing that doing so is “consistent” with regulations and precedents that require a special counsel to fully disclose the rationale behind their decisions. Garland then pushed back on the idea that an attorney general should step in to change the language in a special counsel’s report.
