Things gettin' spicy,
Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed former U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland Robert Hur to oversee the Department of Justice's investigation into President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents.
Garland signed an order appointing Hur to serve as special counsel on Thursday, as the White House revealed that more classified documents had been found at Biden's Wilmington home, in addition to those discovered at his personal office in Washington, D.C. Hur, who currently is a litigation partner at Washington, D.C., law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, said he plans to "conduct the assigned investigation with fair, impartial, and dispassionate judgment."
"I intend to follow the facts swiftly and thoroughly, without fear or favor, and will honor the trust placed in me to perform this service," he said in a statement.Prior to joining the firm, Hur oversaw one of the largest U.S. Attorney's Offices in the nation as the chief federal law enforcement officer in Maryland from 2018 to 2021.
He was appointed by former President Donald Trump and unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate to the role.
The move marked a return to the office; Hur was an assistant U.S. attorney in the District of Maryland from 2007 to 2014, during which he received the Attorney General's Distinguished Service Award for "superior performance and excellence as a lawyer," according to the DOJ.
