YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAttorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to oversee an investigation into the handling of documents associated with President Joe Biden from his time as vice president.
“Under the special counsel regulation, it is in the public interest to appoint a special counsel,” Garland said at a press conference Thursday in Washington.
Garland named Robert Hur, former US attorney for Maryland, as special counsel, saying “I am confident that Mr. Hur will carry out his responsibility in an even-handed and urgent manner and in accordance with the highest traditions of this department.”
Garland signed an order Thursday authorizing the special counsel to include in the investigation “possible unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or other records discovered at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement and the Wilmington, Delaware, private residence of President Joseph R. Biden Jr.”
Hur had a front-row seat to the Justice Department’s handling of the most significant special counsel investigation to unfold during former President Donald Trump’s time in office, serving from 2017 to 2018 as the principal associate deputy attorney general under then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein – who appointed Robert Mueller to serve as special counsel overseeing the Russia probe.
