The House Judiciary Committee recently heard testimony from Special Counsel Hur regarding the investigation into President Biden's handling of classified materials. The investigation, which spanned 15 months and cost several million dollars, involved reviewing over 7 million documents and conducting 173 interviews of 147 witnesses, including President Biden himself.
Special Counsel Hur's comprehensive 345-page report, with several dozen pages of appendices, concluded that no criminal charges were warranted in the matter. The primary law analyzed for potential prosecution was part of the Espionage Act, which criminalizes willful retention or disclosure of national defense information.
