(The Guardian) Hur says 'I did not exonerate' BidenFormer special counsel Robert Hur has said he “did not exonerate” Joe Biden in his report on the president’s handling of classified documents. Hur interrupted Pramila Jayapal, the Democrat congresswoman from Washington, when she said Hur’s report amounted to a “complete exoneration” of the president. Hur shot back: I did not exonerate him. That word does not appear in my report. Hur says he did not conclude that Biden was 'senile'Former special counsel Robert Hur declined to engage in Republicans’ questions about whether Joe Biden is “senile”. Wisconsin congressman Scott Fitzgerald said: Webster’s Dictionary defines ‘senile’ as exhibiting a decline of cognitive ability, such as memory, associated with old age. Mr Hur, based on your report, did you find that the president was senile?Hur replied: I did not. That conclusion does not appear in my report.Hur went on to say that his report addressed Biden’s “memory gaps” in the context of determining how a jury would perceive and consider Biden’s intent to commit a crime.

(The Guardian) Former special counsel Robert Hur said attorney general Merrick Garland did not interfere with his investigation into Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents. Hur said: Attorney general Garland did not interfere with my efforts and I was able to conduct a fair thorough and independent investigation.
The House judiciary committee hearing has resumed in the questioning of now-former special counsel Robert Hur, who investigated Joe Biden’s having kept hold of classified documents after he left office as the US vice-president. Hur concluded that the US president should not be punished, which enraged Republicans, but justified that decision by saying, essentially, that a jury would find Biden too forgetful, because of his age, to be able to conclude that he committed a crime. “I stand by every word in the document,” Hur said in testimony at the hearing.
