According to a Fox News report, Congress now has its hands on five hours worth of interviews in which Special Counsel Robert Hur spoke with a confused President Biden.
Hur is set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.
From Fox News:
More than five hours of Biden’s interviews were turned over to Congress by the Justice Department on Tuesday, hours before Hur is set to testify to the House Judiciary Committee on his investigation into the Democratic president’s handling of classified documents. The interview transcripts show Biden was at times fuzzy about dates as he recalled decades-old stories.
“I have no idea,” Biden said when asked how classified information ended up at his Delaware home and former Penn Biden Center office in Washington, D.C. The president added that had he known the documents were there, he would have returned them to the government.
The president did acknowledge that he intentionally kept his personal diaries — which officials said contained classified information. Biden insisted they were his own property, a claim also asserted by previous presidents and vice presidents, and that he had a right to keep them.
Biden said that he left it to his staff to safeguard classified information that was presented to him, often leaving papers on his desk in heaps for aides to sort through and secure.
“I never asked anybody,” Biden said. He noted that many of his staff had worked with him for years, to the point where they didn’t need direction from him. “It just — it just got done. I don’t know. I can’t remember who.”
Hur, in his report on President Biden’s alleged improper retention of classified records, did not recommend criminal charges against Biden.
