U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland appeared before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday to address accusations from Republican lawmakers that the Justice Department is unethically protecting President Joe Biden and his family. Executive privilege gives presidents the right to keep information from the courts, Congress and the public to protect the confidentiality of decision-making, though it can be challenged in court.

The result was a 345-page report that questioned Biden’s age and mental competence but recommended no criminal charges for the 81-year-old.
