Biden Interviewed by Special Counsel in Ongoing Probe of Classified Documents
-
President Biden was interviewed by special counsel Robert Hur as part of the investigation into his handling of classified documents. The interview occurred over two days at the White House.
-
The special counsel investigation began after Biden's lawyers found classified documents at his Delaware residence and an office in D.C. tied to his time as senator and vice president.
-
The FBI also conducted searches at Biden's Rehoboth beach home and uncovered materials that appeared to date back to his vice presidency.
-
Hur was appointed by the Attorney General to investigate this matter, while a separate special counsel is investigating a similar issue with former President Trump.
-
What differs in the two cases is that Trump allegedly was personally involved in taking documents and pushed his attorneys to mislead the FBI, while Biden's lawyers promptly notified authorities.
