White House Lawyers Clash with DOJ Over Length and Contents of Mar-a-Lago Probe Report
- White House lawyers wrote Garland before the report's release, objecting to Hur's comments on Biden's memory and work product
- Months before, White House lawyers urged Hur to make a "succinct, straightforward" report per DOJ principles
- Hur's 300+ page report with photos angered the White House, which sent another letter excoriating it
- DOJ's Weinsheimer defended Hur's report as proper and meeting "the apex of the public interest"
- After the report's release, White House lawyers kept complaining, accusing DOJ of "disturbing lack of concern" about harm
