On Tuesday's broadcast of CNN's "The Lead," House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) stated that the report by Merrick Garland-appointed Special Counsel Robert Hur "was inappropriate, gratuitous, unconscionable, and in many ways, un-American." Because "The American people just simply want the truth, and the truth is that President Biden did nothing wrong and was completely and totally exonerated," and Hur's motives weren't pure, so any conclusions he made "separate and apart from the facts and the law, should be dismissed."
