Robert Hur , the special counsel who challenged the president’s competence and age in his report on how Joe Biden handled classified documents , publicly testified before Congress today, taking questions from both Republicans and Democrats. Hur appeared before the House Judiciary Committee . His 345-page report, released to the public in February, found that no criminal charges were warranted in the president’s handling of classified documents after he left the vice presidency.
But in explaining how he had arrived at his decision, Hur wrote that Biden would likely present himself to a jury 'as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.' He suggested Biden could not even remember during questioning when his adult son Beau had died. Hur said his report's discussion of Biden's memory was 'necessary and accurate and fair' because his state of mind was an important part of evaluating whether he committed a crime. 'I did not sanitize my explanation nor did I disparage the president unfairly,' he said
