On Thursday, Robert Hur released a report into classified documents found at President Joe Biden’s home and office.
Attorney General Merrick Garland is under pressure after Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report into President Joe Biden’s classified documents.
Hur’s report on the Obama-era classified documents found at Biden’s home in Delaware and his Penn Biden Center office in Washington D.C. in December 2022 and January 2023 was released on Thursday. The special counsel declined to prosecute him for mishandling classified documents, but raised questions about his mental fitness and called him “a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
Garland appointed Hur to lead the Biden investigation in January 2023. Hur also served as U.S. attorney for the District of Maryland until 2021, having been appointed to the position by former President Donald Trump in 2018.
“It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him-by then a former president well into his eighties-of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness,” Hur wrote.
