"Attorney General Garland Defends Decision Not to Edit Special Counsel Report on Biden"

Attorney General Merrick Garland defended his decision not to block special counsel Robert Hur's language on President Joe Biden's memory, stating that it would have been "absurd" for him to do so. Garland emphasized his commitment to making special counsels' reports public and maintaining the Justice Department's independence. Hur's report on Biden's handling of classified documents described the president's memory as "significantly limited," drawing criticism from the White House and Democrats. Biden refuted the claims, asserting that his memory is fine.
