Attorney General Merrick B. Garland named a special counsel Thursday to investigate storage of classified documents at places President Joe Biden worked before his return to the White House.
Former federal prosecutor Robert Hur, who previously served as U.S. attorney in Maryland, will have the authority to probe the document retention of Biden’s office after he served as vice president under President Barack Obama.
The Biden administration has acknowledged that attorneys found classified documents at two locations where Biden worked following his tenure as vice president.
