Special counsel Robert Hur testified before Congress Tuesday about his report on President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. Republican lawmakers criticized Hur for not filing charges against the president, while Democrats accused him of unfairly maligning the president. In his report last month, Hur described Biden as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Democrats say a newly released transcript of Hur’s interview with Biden shows the president’s memory was far stronger than Hur indicated — at one point during the interview, Hur described Biden’s memory as “photographic.” Democratic Congressmember Adam Schiff criticized Hur about his report.

Rep. Adam Schiff: “What you did write was deeply prejudicial to the interest of the president. You say it wasn’t political, and yet you must have understood. You must have understood the impact of your words.”

Robert Hur: “Congressman, what you are suggesting is that I shape, sanitize, omit portions of my reasoning and explanation to the attorney general for political reasons.”

Rep. Adam Schiff: “No, I suggest that you not shape your report for political reasons, which is what you did.”

Robert Hur: “That did not happen, Congressman. That did not happen.”
