House Republicans asked the DOJ for a transcript and any recordings of the interview Robert Hur conducted with President Joe Biden last year.
last year, a request that follows the special counsel finding the president may have “willfully” retained classified documents.to the DOJ from three House chairmen, Reps. James Comer , Jim Jordan , and Jason Smith , the GOP’s impeachment inquiry into Biden related to his family’s foreign business dealings.
They noted that transcripts, recordings, and notes from the interview Hur had with Biden in October 2022 as part of his investigation into the president could be informative for their inquiry. Hur said in his report that he did not find enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Biden’s retention of classified documents while he was a private citizen was willful.The special counsel added that Biden’s memory was so bad during their interview that Hur believed a jury may find that his retention of documents was an “innocent mistake,” a highly scrutinized finding in Hur’s report that a recording of an interview could shed more light on.
Hur found, for example, that Biden retained a few documents that were either “confidential” or “top secret” in his home in Wilmington, Delaware, that were related to Ukraine. Two of the documents had dates that corresponded to the years Hunter Biden held a controversial and lucrative board position at a Ukrainian energy company.
