Attorney General Merrick Garland is facing a deluge of backlash, including from his friend and former Harvard professor, following the release of special counsel Robert Hur's final report on President Joe Biden's retention of classified documents. Experts have derided the report for including what they say are partisan remarks about Biden and his memory that violate the Justice Department's normal practice. Some, including the president, believe Hur overstepped in his comments and place some of the blame on Garland, according to Politico.
In a post to X/Twitter Laurence Tribe, a professor emeritus at Harvard who taught constitutional law for decades, agreed with the criticism of Garland.
