Special counsel who questioned Biden's memory to testify at House hearing
House Republicans will hold a public hearing next month with the special counsel who found evidence that President Joe Biden had mishandled classified information when he was out of office but also concluded that criminal charges were not warranted
WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking to keep a spotlight on President Joe Biden's age, House Republicans will hold a public hearing next month with the Justice Department special counsel who found evidence that the president had mishandled classified information when he was out of office but who also concluded that criminal charges were not warranted.
The House Judiciary Committee, chaired by conservative firebrand Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, will hold a hearing with special counsel Robert Hur on March 12, according to two people familiar with the plans who spoke anonymously to discuss the yet-to-be-announced hearing.
The White House declined to comment on the plans.
The committee has spearheaded much of the House GOP's investigations into Biden, including the effort to impeach him. While that effort has floundered, Republicans want to hear from Hur after his report last week offered an unflattering assessment of Biden's competency and age.
