The hearing has resumed with Rep. Glenn Ivey questioning Robert Hur. Ivey raised concerns about the withholding of over 90 transcripts by the majority at the Judiciary Committee and Oversight Committee, which are crucial for the alleged impeachment inquiry. He emphasized the importance of cooperation and information sharing.
Robert Hur confirmed that no criminal charges are warranted in the matter and that evidence does not establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt for Mr. Biden. Hur reiterated that criminal charges are not warranted based on the evidence.
Ivey highlighted the cooperation of President Biden in the investigation, including turning in classified documents, consenting to searches, sitting for a voluntary interview, and allowing investigators to review personal property. In contrast, Hur's report pointed out serious aggravating facts in the indictment of former President Trump, who allegedly obstructed justice by refusing to return classified documents and destroying evidence.
When questioned about guardianship issues raised during the hearing, Hur clarified that his report did not include any opinions on Mr. Biden needing guardianship or being unfit for public office based on memory issues.
The hearing concluded with Ivey thanking Hur for his testimony and efforts. Hur affirmed his responsibility for the report and stood by every word in it. The exchange between Ivey and Hur shed light on the contrasting behaviors of President Biden and former President Trump during the investigation.
