Special Counsel Robert Hur last week released a 345-page report on his investigation of the stolen classified documents.
Biden’s stolen classified documents were scattered all over the place in damaged cardboard boxes and unlocked drawers at the Penn Biden Center. The documents were also easily accessible in Biden’s Delaware garage and basement den.
Robert Hur found that Joe Biden “willfully retained” classified information, however, he decided not to charge him. Hur said there is evidence Biden retained classified notebooks, “knowing he was not allowed to do so.”

Published February 27, 2024
A trio of House GOP chairs fired off a subpoena to Attorney General Merrick Garland Tuesday requesting documents related to special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents.
The subpoena follows a Feb. 12 request from the top Republicans that Garland turn over transcripts and recordings of the interview Biden sat for with the special counsel’s office. The GOP lawmakers said the Justice Department did not produce any of the requested material by the due date because it was reviewing documents for classification and confidentiality, prompting the subpoena.
The group is asking Garland for transcripts, notes, videos and audio files related to Hur’s investigation, in addition to the classified documents mentioned in the special counsel’s report that pertain to a phone call then-Vice President Biden had with the then-Ukrainian prime minister in December 2015.
“Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents made two things clear: there’s a double standard of justice in this country and Joe Biden isn’t fit for office,” House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said in a statement. “The transcripts and materials from his investigation are critical to our oversight work.”

Published February 27, 2024
WASHINGTON — House Republicans issued a subpoena Tuesday demanding tapes and transcripts of President Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur’s team — which Hur described in a bombshell report earlier this month as showing the 81-year-old president to be so mentally diminished that no jury would convict him of mishandling classified records over a period of decades.
House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) “subpoenaed Attorney General Merrick Garland for records, including transcripts, notes, video, and audio files, related to… Hur’s investigation of President Joe Biden’s willful mishandling of classified information,” according to a statement from their offices.
If made public, the tapes and transcripts could be politically devastating to Biden’s bid for a second term in November’s election if they confirm Hur’s account, which enraged Biden — or they could lend credence to a counter-theory that Biden may have deployed a strategic “bathrobe defense” to avoid accountability.
“Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents made two things clear: there’s a double standard of justice in this country and Joe Biden isn’t fit for office. The transcripts and materials from his investigation are critical to our oversight work,” said Jordan.
Comer added: “We owe it to the American people to provide transparency and accountability about the extent of Joe Biden retaining sensitive materials and the concerns raised about his current mental state and fitness to be President of the United States.”
