Former U.S. President Donald Trump to give a deposition to New York Attorney General Letitia James

Former U.S. Attorney, who previously served in various high-profile positions within the Department of Justice, testified before Congress regarding his investigative report on President Biden's handling of classified documents. During the hearing, the former U.S. Attorney was questioned about his career and the conclusions drawn in his report.

The former U.S. Attorney confirmed his extensive legal background, including clerking for Judge Kaczynski of the Ninth Circuit and Chief Justice William Rehnquist on the United States Supreme Court. He also acknowledged his work under former Assistant Attorney General Christopher Wray and Principal Deputy to Rod Rosenstein at the Trump Justice Department.

When asked about his appointment as special counsel to investigate President Biden's handling of classified documents, the former U.S. Attorney clarified that the investigation did not extend to the President's mental fitness for office. He emphasized that the report, which concluded insufficient evidence of willful retention of classified documents by President Biden, was made available to Congress.

Despite facing allegations of bias and partisanship, the former U.S. Attorney maintained that his work was conducted objectively and without political influence. He denied any intention to smear President Biden and reiterated that his report was based solely on the evidence gathered during the investigation.

During the hearing, the former U.S. Attorney refuted claims of political motivations, stating that partisan politics played no role in his investigative process or decision-making. He also clarified that he was not a member of the Federalist Society and had no aspirations for political appointments.

As the hearing concluded, the former U.S. Attorney defended the integrity of his report and emphasized the importance of conducting thorough and impartial investigations in the pursuit of justice.
