White House Lawyers Critique Garlands Report in Pre-Release Letter to Hur

A day before the public release of the special counsel report on Joe Biden, the White House objected to the report's comments on the president's memory, alleging that the special counsel openly violated DOJ policies. 

The report detailed Biden's forgetfulness and concluded that criminal charges were not warranted, igniting political controversy. The White House actively shared its views on how the Justice Department's rules should have influenced the special counsel's work, indicating a significant divide between the two bodies. The report's release sparked public and private backlash, with the White House team disputing the report's assessment and engaging in written correspondence with DOJ officials. The report's political impact led to House Republicans calling for Biden's removal from office, prompting a heated exchange between the White House and the Justice Department. The aftermath of the report's release continues, with the House Judiciary Committee seeking underlying materials, and the special counsel expected to testify to Congress
