House Republicans Subpoena Documents from Special Counsel in Biden Classified Docs Probe
• House Republicans subpoenaed Special Counsel Robert Hur for materials related to his interview with President Biden about the classified documents case. This includes any transcripts, recordings, and communications.
• The subpoena is part of the House Republican impeachment inquiry into Biden's handling of classified documents. They are investigating if there are grounds to draft articles of impeachment.
• Republicans claim Biden may have retained sensitive documents related to his family's foreign business dealings. They also want information on any restrictions Hur faced in questioning Biden.
• The Justice Department said it needs to review the requested materials for classification and executive privilege issues before providing them to Congress.
• Special Counsel Hur recently released his report stating he would not charge Biden criminally, but described him as an "elderly man with poor memory." This has raised concerns about Biden's 2024 campaign.
