Special Counsel Robert Hur is testifying to Congress on Tuesday about his investigation into how President Joe Biden handled classified documents after he was vice president.
Hur is speaking to the House Judiciary Committee about his report, which concluded that Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials” which the special presented “serious risks to national security.”
But Hur has said he decided not to criminally prosecute Biden for his handling of that material, in part because of the president’s allegedly poor memory, among other things.
Biden and his lawyers have strongly disputed Hur’s characterization of the president’s memory, and have pointed to details in the the special counsel’s report that undercut the claim that he willfully retained classified documents.
