Originally Published 1 year ago — by CBS News
Special counsel Robert Hur is set to testify before Congress on March 12 regarding his investigation into President Biden's handling of classified records, concluding that neither Biden nor his aides would face criminal charges over the documents, but highlighting potential national security risks. Republicans have seized on the report's characterization of Biden's memory lapses during interviews, while the White House has pushed back on the descriptions as "gratuitous." Hur, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, noted Biden's cooperation in the investigation as a factor in the decision not to bring charges, and his upcoming testimony is expected to spark controversy on Capitol Hill.
