<p>Attorney General <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/merrick-garland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Merrick Garland</a> rejected suggestions by critics that he should have altered <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/robert-hur" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert Hur</a>&#8216;s special counsel report on President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden&#8217;s</a> handling of classified documents.</p>
<p>Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Garland dismissed the notion that someone in his position should have masked Hur&#8217;s description of Biden&#8217;s foggy memory while declining to pursue charges.</p>
<p>“The idea that an attorney general would edit or redact or censor the special counsel’s explanation for why the special counsel reached the decision the special counsel did — that’s absurd,” Garland <a href="https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1770845812198678782" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.</p>

<p>Hur&#8217;s report, which was released last month, criticized Biden&#8217;s retention of classified records following his service as a U.S. senator and vice president, but the prosecutor declined to recommend charges.</p>
<p>The report described Biden as a &#8220;sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory&#8221; whom a jury likely would not convict &#8220;of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.&#8221;</p>
<p>Biden delivered remarks at the White House in response to the report, insisting that his memory was &#8220;fine&#8221; just moments before <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-explodes-during-press-conference-on-his-mental-fitness-makes-several-mental-mistakes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he mistakenly said</a> Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi was the president of Mexico.</p>
<p>POLITICO <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000018d-ae03-dff1-a7df-effb0b150000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> a White House letter to Garland <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/15/white-house-doj-biden-report-00141729" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a day before</a> the attorney general released Hur&#8217;s report, claiming some aspects &#8220;openly, obviously, and blatantly&#8221; violated Justice Department policy and practice.</p>
<p>During a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/special-counsel-robert-hur-gives-explosive-testimony-to-congress-about-criminal-probe-into-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">congressional hearing</a> earlier this month, Hur <a href="https://twitter.com/RepDonaldsPress/status/1767565644357087243" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insisted</a> that his &#8220;assessment in the report about the relevance of the president&#8217;s memory was necessary, and accurate, and fair.&#8221;</p>

<p>While facing claims of political bias from Democrats, Hur <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/accusations-fly-as-hur-clashes-with-schiff-on-biden-docs-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> regulations &#8220;required&#8221; him to write a confidential report explaining his decision-making to Garland.</p>
<p>But it was ultimately Garland&#8217;s call on how much of the report to release to the public in accordance with legal requirements and Department of Justice policy, Hur added.</p>
<p>Garland picked Hur, who served as a U.S. attorney in Maryland during the Trump administration, to lead the documents probe early last year.</p>
<p>When the investigation came to a close, Garland <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/garland-informs-congress-biden-docs-probe-is-complete" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that he was &#8220;committed to making as much of the Special Counsel’s report public as possible, consistent with legal requirements and Department policy.&#8221;</p>
