Special Counsel Hur Defends Decision Not to Prosecute Biden, Says Job Was More Unpleasant Than Expected
• Robert Hur, the special counsel who investigated Biden's handling of classified documents, says he's stunned by the "vitriol" and criticism from across the political spectrum after he declined to prosecute Biden.
• Hur defends his report, saying it was intended for the Attorney General, not Congress or the public, and that he had no partisan intentions.
• Hur resigned from the DOJ before his congressional testimony to avoid appearances of political bias, following the precedent of Robert Mueller.
• Hur explains he took the unpleasant assignment because he feels a "debt" to the U.S. for taking in his parents after the Korean War.
• Hur knew the job would be unpleasant but didn't anticipate the intensity of criticism from both Democrats and Republicans in Congress.
