Attorney General Merrick Garland has named attorney Robert Hur, a Trump appointee, as special counsel to investigate whether President Biden improperly handled classified documents.
Documents with classified markings were found in two locations by the president's personal attorneys, who say they immediately notified the National Archives and Records Administration and turned them over. The first announcement about the discovery of classified documents — found in a Washington, D.C., office Biden used from mid-2017 until the beginning of his 2020 campaign — came early this week. Several days later, Biden's personal lawyer announced more were found at Biden's home in Delaware.
