Garland's Special Counsel Report Sparks Controversy Over Biden's Mental Fitness

President Joe Biden visits Amtrak maintenance facility in Bear, Delaware

Attorney General Merrick Garland is facing criticism from President Biden for a special counsel report that includes an assessment of Biden's mental fitness. The report, conducted by Robert Herr, concludes that there is insufficient evidence to prosecute President Biden for classified document mishandling. However, it also includes Herr's opinion on Biden's memory, which the President finds unnecessary and inappropriate.

Many legal experts argue that Herr's mention of Biden's mental fitness was out of bounds and should not have been included in the report. They believe that it is not appropriate for Herr, who is not a medical professional, to make a diagnosis of the President's memory. Additionally, they feel that the language used in the report is gratuitous and goes against the norm of the Justice Department.
