Former special counsel Robert Hur faced heated questions from lawmakers during a public hearing about his yearlong investigation into President Joe Biden.
Republicans and Democrats alike took issue with elements of Hur’s findings, which were detailed in a lengthy report theHur had found evidence that Biden willfully retained classified documents after he left the vice presidency and that Biden “risked serious damage to America’s national security.” While unauthorized retention of classified material is against federal law, Hur said he declined to bring charges because he did not have evidence that met a reasonable doubt threshold.
Hur pushed back on claim that Biden was completely truthful during the special counsel investigation. “I do address in my report one response the president gave to a question that we had posed to him that we deemed to be not credible,” Hur said.The question prompted a confused look from Hur, leading Nadler to drop his line of questioning.
However, Hur said the evidence was not strong enough to secure a conviction against Zwonitzer for obstructing his investigation.
