On Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of a special counsel, Robert Hur, to review President Biden’s handling of classified material. This review stems from the discovery of a small number of documents with classified markings found by Biden’s personal attorneys at both the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, a Washington-based think tank established by the president after serving as Vice President, and at his residence in Wilmington, Delaware.
Robert Hur, a seasoned prosecutor who previously served in the Trump administration, will lead the investigation with the utmost impartiality and fairness. In a statement, Hur emphasized his commitment to conducting the review with a dispassionate and fair judgment. President Biden has stated that he is fully cooperating with the investigation, according to The New York Times.
It should be noted that Hur’s review of President Biden’s handling of classified material is separate from the two investigations into former President Donald Trump that are being overseen by another special prosecutor appointed by Garland. The purpose of Hur’s review is to ensure that all relevant information related to President Biden’s handling of classified material is thoroughly reviewed and evaluated. The appointment of Robert Hur, with his extensive experience and record of impartiality, instills confidence that the review will be conducted in a fair and thorough manner.
