Attorney General Merrick Garland appoints special counsel to investigate handling of Biden classified documents found at office, home
Hur is a former U.S. attorney in Maryland who will return to the government from private practice in Washington. Hur, who also served as a principal associate deputy attorney general during the Trump administration, is expected to begin work in the coming days, according to a senior Justice Department official who was not authorized to comment publicly.
The White House confirmed earlier this week that the Justice Department had been reviewing the matter, a preliminary inquiry led by Chicago U.S. Attorney John Lausch Jr., a holdover from the Trump administration. Trump had repeatedly resisted efforts by the National Archives to recover the material, including failing to fully respond to a subpoena issued for the records by federal law enforcement authorities, prompting the FBI to lead an unprecedented search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, resulting in the seizure of the classified documents and thousands of other government records.
