House Judiciary Committee members used a hearing Tuesday over a special counsel report on President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents to criticize the other party’s likely presidential nominee.
Former special counsel Robert K. Hur appeared before the committee and overall stuck to the findings of his February report, which found Biden retained and disclosed classified materials after serving as vice president but concluded he should not be criminally charged.
But during more than three hours of questioning, Republicans used the case to raise grievances with the Justice Department’s ongoing prosecution of former President Donald Trump in Florida federal court related to handling of classified documents.
