White House Lawyers' Preemptive Strike Against Hur Report Sparks Controversy

White House lawyers wrote letters to Attorney General Merrick Garland objecting to special counsel Robert Hur's report on Joe Biden, arguing that it violated Justice Department policies and unfairly depicted the president. The letters reveal the extent of the disagreement between the White House and the Justice Department over the report's content and release. Despite objections from the White House, the Justice Department defended the report's contents and its public release, leading to ongoing political fallout and calls for further investigation.
