Attorney General Merrick Garland shut down a reporter for suggesting he should've interfered with the Special Counsel report mentioning President Biden's memory.
Attorney General Merrick Garland shut down a reporter Thursday questioning if he should've edited language describing President Biden's memory in Special Counsel Robert Hur's report, calling that suggestion 'absurd.' NBC correspondent Ken Dilanian asked Garland about the criticism he's faced from the White House over how the former special counsel described Biden's faltering memory in his report looking into the president's handling of classified documents.
The case morphed from a mere review into a full-blown special counsel investigation once a second stash of documents was found inside the garage of Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home. Hur drew backlash from the White House and liberal media outlets after he described Biden in the report as 'a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory' who couldn't remember significant life events.
