Attorney general says investigation of Biden classified documents is complete
Attorney General Merrick Garland informed congressional leaders on Wednesday that special counsel Robert Hur has concluded his investigation into classified documents that were found at the home and office of President Joe Biden.
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Merrick Garland informed congressional leaders Wednesday that special counsel Robert Hur has concluded his investigation into classified documents that were found at President Joe Biden’s home and office.
Hur is communicating with the White House about items that may need to be redacted because of possible executive privilege issues before the report is made public, Garland said.
Hur submitted his final report to Garland on Monday. He also "engaged with the White House Counsel's Office and the President's personal counsel to allow comments on the report," Garland said.
A White House official told NBC News it is expected that the review “will be complete by the end of the week.”
"As I have made clear regarding each Special Counsel who has served since I have taken office, I am committed to making as much of the Special Counsel's report public as possible, consistent with legal requirements and Department policy," Garland wrote in the one-page letter to Judiciary Committee leaders in the House and the Senate. "I will produce to Congress the report, its appendices, and the letter from counsel following completion of the White House's privilege review."
