During a recent hearing, Rep. Ken Buck questioned Robert Hur regarding the issue of willfulness in relation to classified documents allegedly held by President Biden. Buck highlighted a statement made by Biden to his ghostwriter, where he mentioned having classified documents in his basement, which was not a secure area. Buck argued that based on this evidence, it seemed clear that Biden possessed classified documents knowingly and willfully.
In response, Hur, drawing on his experience as a prosecutor, acknowledged the significance of the audio recording and agreed that it could be compelling evidence in a trial. However, he explained that their report aimed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the case thoroughly, anticipating potential defense arguments that could be raised at trial.
