Special counsel Robert Hur to testify before House panel next month
Hur, who declined to prosecute President Joe Biden over his handling of classified documents, will testify March 12 before the House Judiciary Committee.
WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert Hur, who recently declined to prosecute President Joe Biden over his handling of classified documents after he left office as vice president, will testify in public next month before a Republican-led House panel, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed.
Hur will testify March 12 before the House Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the sources said.
Another source said House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., will be allowed to participate in the hearing.
A spokesperson for the Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
NBC News has reported that Jordan, Comer and Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., who leads the Ways and Means Committee, wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland asking that he provide the full transcript of Biden’s interview with Hur that stemmed from the special counsel’s investigation into his handling of classified documents after he left office as vice president.
